Impossible Cheeseburger Pie is the perfect fusion of comfort food and weeknight convenience that brings bold, cheesy, and beefy flavor in every bite.
This hearty, satisfying dish is a retro favorite that never goes out of style—easy to whip up, endlessly customizable, and always a crowd-pleaser.
What You’ll Need for This Impossible Cheeseburger Pie
- Lean ground beef – Savory and hearty, it forms the meaty base of this pie and pairs perfectly with melted cheese.
- Sweet onion – Adds a gentle sweetness and depth that balances the richness of the beef and cheese.
- Cheddar cheese – Melts into gooey perfection, delivering sharp, creamy goodness throughout the dish.
- Milk – Combines with the Bisquick to create a light, quiche-like texture.
- Onion soup mix – A pantry powerhouse that brings bold, savory depth with zero effort.
- Bisquick – The “impossible” magic that binds the filling into a tender, crustless pie.
- Eggs – Help the pie set and give it a satisfying, custardy structure.
How to Make This Retro Favorite
Start by browning the beef and onions until fully cooked and fragrant, then drain off any grease. This forms the flavorful foundation of the dish.
Layer the mixture into a greased pie dish and generously sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Whisk together milk, Bisquick, eggs, and onion soup mix until smooth, then pour it evenly over the meat and cheese.
Bake until golden and set—about 25 minutes. Let it cool just slightly before slicing into cheesy, beefy perfection.
Tips & Tasty Twists to Try
For extra flavor, try swapping the cheddar with pepper jack or a smoked gouda. A dash of hot sauce in the batter adds just the right kick if you’re feeling spicy.
Want a little veggie action? Stir in chopped bell peppers or mushrooms with the beef and onion. Bacon lovers can also toss in crumbled cooked bacon for a cheeseburger pie that leans into indulgence.
This recipe can easily be doubled for a crowd—just use a 9×13 baking dish instead of a pie pan. Leftovers are just as tasty, making it a smart make-ahead option.
Keep It Fresh: Storing & Reheating
To store leftovers, wrap the pie tightly or place slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
For freezing, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and then foil, or store in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or microwave in 30-second bursts until hot. For best texture, skip the microwave when possible and opt for the oven.
