Grandma’s Easy Cheeseburger Pie
Grandma’s Easy Cheeseburger Pie is a quick and easy, one dish, family friendly dinner. Each bite is like biting into the juicy burger you’re craving, without any of the work involved in fixin’ the real deal.
When I’m making my plan of attack for the week (aka my weekly meal plan), I try to include a few nights of easy.
If you’re a busy mom, you know that evenings are a careful balance of homework and shuttling kids around to a thousand activities.
And now I understand why my Grandma made this easy cheeseburger pie all the time.
She was a stand in for our parents, shuttling her 3 grandkids around to all the places we needed to be while my parents worked.
This pie saved her and now my sanity many times.
It’s simple, savory, and captures the magic that is the perfect cheeseburger in a one dish pie.
But it’s a lot less work than making a full cheeseburger dinner for everyone.
Drizzle ketchup and yellow mustard over it and top it with a few slices of dill pickle and it’s perfect!
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Ground beef– Lean ground beef. I’d recommend 90/10 or leaner so it’s not greasy.
- White onion– Diced
- Seasonings– Salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce
- Cheese– Shredded cheddar
- Baking mix– Like Bisquick. This homemade Bisquick works perfectly in this!
- Milk
How to Make
Grandma’s easy cheeseburger pie is such a lifesaver on busy nights!
To make it, saute the beef and onions over medium heat until the onions are soft and the ground beef is cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Once the beef is brown, drain any excess fat off the ground beef.
Return the meat mixture to the skillet and stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper.
Spread the meat evenly into a 9″ pie pan you’ve sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Sprinkle the cheese evenly out over the top of the meat.
Then whisk the remaining ingredients together in a medium-sized mixing bowl until they are evenly incorporated.
Pour the batter out over the cheese-covered meat mixture.
Bake the pie at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until a butter knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Take the pie out of the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Slice the pie and serve slices topped with ketchup, mustard, and pickle slices.
Enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
Store the leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container or tightly covered in the baking dish.
They will stay good for about 4 days.
Reheat them in a hot oven or in the microwave until warmed through.
Freezing Instructions
Cheeseburger pie freezes really well, which makes it great for meal prep or saving leftovers for another busy night.
To freeze it, bake the pie as directed above and then let the pie cool to room temperature.
Once it is cool, wrap the whole pie or individual slices tightly in plastic wrap.
Put them in a freezer safe container or freezer bag and freeze for 2 to 3 months.
When you’re ready to eat it, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through.
You can also microwave individual slices for a quicker option.
Tips and Tricks
- Use leaner ground beef so the beef doesn’t cook down too much or get too greasy.
- Want to add more flavor? Sprinkle some hamburger seasoning blend on the ground beef.
- Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese for whatever you have on hand.

Your recipes are awesome thank u for sharing
That means so much, thank you!!
This is real comfort food. Yum!! Thank you so much for bringing to the party.
Would love to try and make this wonderful sounding meal. What is baking mix?
The brand I’m most familiar with here is Bisquick. It’s basically a mix with a flour base that has all the ingredients pre-mixed and ready to use in a recipe. There are plenty of recipes out there for easy homemade versions if you can’t find it in the store- or if you just prefer things from scratch.
This is a favorite in our house. Though I do add a bit more spices.
