Cheeseburger pie has all the flavors of the iconic American sandwich, especially if you add burger toppings—we highly recommend that, of course. Savory ground beef is the base of any burger-inspired food, but instead of buns, a quick crust is made with Bisquick. Creamy Cheddar cheese brings the cheesy factor home. Let the skillet pie stand a bit after you remove it from the oven; this helps it hold together when you go to slice it.

Ingredients for Cheeseburger Pie
This comforting, family-friendly dish delivers all the irresistible flavors of a great cheeseburger in a sliceable form. To make a cheeseburger pie, you’ll need:
Cooking spray: To keep the pie from sticking to the dish.
Lean ground beef: The protein-rich base of the pie for a classic cheeseburger flavor. If preferred, you can swap with ground turkey or a plant-based meat alternative.
Yellow onion: Adds a sweet aromatic touch.
Seasoned salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the pie.
Garlic powder: For a savory depth.
Black pepper: Adds a hint of peppery heat.
Worcestershire sauce: Rich in umami, Worcestershire adds a rich savory note to the pie.
Sharp Cheddar cheese: For a classic cheeseburger feel.
All-purpose baking mix: Like Bisquick, to form a light topping for the pie.
Large eggs: Binds the topping.
Whole milk: Moistens the baking mix for a light, fluffy texture.
To top the pie, you’ll need diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, chopped red onion, chopped pickles, Burger Sauce, or any of your favorite cheeseburger toppings.
