Not So Impossible Cheeseburger Pie – The Classic Weeknight Dinner That’s Always a Hit!
Back in the day, my mom called it “Impossible Pie” because it magically formed layers in the oven without needing a crust. But trust me, there’s nothing impossible about it — in fact, this Cheeseburger Pie is one of the easiest and most satisfying meals you can whip up with pantry staples. It tastes like a cheeseburger in casserole form: savory ground beef, a fluffy bisquick-like base, gooey cheese, and that nostalgic aroma that makes you feel like a kid again.
I love making this when I need something cozy but quick. The best part? It’s incredibly adaptable. Add pickles, tomatoes, or even bacon bits on top — and just like that, it becomes your own signature dish!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup Bisquick mix (or homemade equivalent)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with chopped onions until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly in the pie dish. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- In a bowl, whisk together Bisquick mix, milk, and eggs until smooth. Pour this mixture gently over the beef and cheese.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a side of salad or fries!
