Delicious and easy Cheeseburger Pie made with ground beef, bacon, onions, cheddar, Pepper Jack Cheese, and Bisquick Baking Mix. It combines all the delicious flavors of cheesy burgers in pie form. This “Impossible Cheeseburger Pie” is always a huge hit with family and friends. For an over-the-top meal, serve with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onion. Bisquick’s “impossible pies” grew in popularity in the 1970s when Betty Crocker’s recipe first appeared on boxes of Bisquick.
Recipe notes and helpful tips
- Don’t risk dropping your browned ground beef or bacon into the sink. Tilt the pan and use a paper towel to absorb the grease.
- I use 80/20 ground beef because it cooks up less dry with more flavor.
- Ground turkey or ground chicken can be substituted for the ground beef.
- Serve your choice of toppings on the side. I like to serve it with shredded lettuce, dill pickles, tomatoes, and onions.
- You can substitute other kinds of cheese that melt well, like Monterey Jack, Gouda, Swiss, Gruyere, Muenster, Provolone, mozzarella, and Colby Jack.
- If desired, sprinkle an extra layer of shredded cheese on the hamburger pie before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave at reduced power.
- Freeze leftovers in a sturdy container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave at reduced power.
How to make Cheeseburger Pie
Start by browning the ground beef and bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. When the beef and bacon are about halfway browned, add the chopped onion. Then cook beef and bacon until browned and until the onion is soft. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, cooking for a minute while stirring. Then drain any excess grease. Remove from the heat and stir in the seasoned salt, black pepper, and ketchup. Let it cool for a few minutes.
Once cooled, stir in the cheese and spoon the mixture into a deep dish 9-inch pie plate sprayed with nonstick baking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Bisquick Baking Mix, milk, and eggs. Pour it over the hamburger cheese mixture and bake in a preheated oven for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the pie comes out clean. Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing.
How to make Cheeseburger Pie without Bisquick
You may not have Bisquick mix available to you, but you can still make this with easy pantry staples. Simply replace the mix with this simple recipe.
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons shortening or butter
Whisk the first three ingredients together in a bowl and then cut the shortening in with a pastry knife until the mixture is crumbly. Then proceed with the rest of the recipe by mixing in the milk and eggs.

This came out really well and was delicious. I remember these “impossible” pies back in my younger years. I have to eat gluten free now but since they make gluten free Bisquick I can enjoy this recipe. It came out great and I doubt most people would notice any difference. I also appreciate that this is easy to take to work the next day since it reheats well in the microwave.
