This Impossible Cheeseburger Pie recipe is simple, easy, cheesy and delicious. Made with Bisquick, ground beef, cheddar cheese, eggs and spices, this is a fun family meal for any night of the week.
I was born in the mid-70’s and grew up in the 80’s. There is a certain nostalgia of some of the family dinner recipes from that era. One of the most famous of these is the Impossible Cheeseburger Pie recipe that Bisquick started to put on the back of it’s boxes. To me, a Cheeseburger Pie sounds like the ultimate comfort food. And Bubba Pie is ALL ABOUT comfort food! So, we thought we’d share our own version of this classic recipe!
Who doesn’t love cheeseburgers? And if you can make a cheeseburger into a delicious casserole, you should definitely do it. We did just that thing last year when we shared our recipe for a Bacon Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole. Now it’s time for some Cheeseburger Pie!
Bisquick-The Ultimate Comfort Food Staple
Bisquick is a premade baking mix consisting of flour, shorting, baking powder and salt. It is a fantastic shortcut for all sorts of recipes, from desserts to main dishes. It is the star of one of our most popular recipes, The John Wayne Casserole. In fact, I don’t even think it is fair to call it a shortcut, it is just simple an awesome ingredient that you can use is so many tasty recipes!
Impossible Cheeseburger Pie Ingredients
This classic recipe has been around for decades. And just like so many other famous recipes (including that John Wayne Casserole mentioned above), there have been several variations on it. Everyone has sort of developed their own take on it. For our recipe, we keep it super simple like always. Here is what you’ll need.
- Ground Beef – We advise to use lean ground beef in this recipe. The pie may get too greasy if you use a mixture with too much fat.
- Chopped Onion – Any kind of onion will work, but we like a yellow onion that cooks up sweeter and balances this recipe out nicely.
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Cup Milk – It doesn’t really matter what kind of milk you use here, any should work just fine!
- 1/2 Cup Bisquick
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 2 Eggs
Can You Freeze An Impossible Cheeseburger Pie?
Absolutely! This is a great recipe to make ahead of time and keep in the freezer if you need an easy meal during the week. Simple allow the Cheeseburger Pie to fully cool and then wrap in aluminum foil and put in a freezer bag. It’s always a good idea to write what it is on the foil and the date that you made it. I just take it out of the freezer the night before and throw it in the fridge to thaw out before I reheat it. It should be good for up to 3 months.
Notes and Variations
- Make sure you really drain the grease out of the skillet after you have browned the beef. You REALLY don’t want this recipe to turn out too greasy.
- Don’t be afraid to try out different types of cheese! Add some spice with a Mexican blend of cheese, or sprinkle in some swiss cheese for a different taste.
- This is one of those great “base recipes” that you can add things to if you’d like. Try adding some bell peppers, Ro-Tel Tomatoes, Corn, Bacon or sub an Onion Soup Mix for the dry spices.
