    Hamburger Pie

    I have a deep fondness for meat and potato pies. Shepherd's pie, cottage pie- each of them reminds me of chilly winter nights gathered around the dinner table with my family, digging into a big dish of steaming, creamy mashed potatoes and hearty, flavorful meat.

    But kids like burgers, and when I had kids of my own, I had to learn that fast! So what better way to combine a taste from my childhood and their favorite food than with cheeseburger pie?

    The best part about this recipe is that once the pieces are assembled, all it takes is a quick pop in the oven and it's ready to serve! If you like the classic Impossible Cheeseburger Pie without Bisquick as the filler, or want to try a great cottage pie recipe with ground beef, this is the place for you.

    Cheeseburger Pie Recipe Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 425°F, and place the pie crust in a deep 9-inch pie dish. Using a fork, poke holes in the bottom of the crust. Pre-bake the crust for 7 minutes.

    Burger Pie Tips

    • This recipe is a perfect way to make use of leftover mashed potatoes, or you can make them fresh for the pie! In a pinch, for an ultra-fast pie, use a packet of instant mashed potatoes and 2 cups of water- just be sure to taste and season it heavily.
    • Feel free to add as many seasonings as you'd like! I highly recommend my recipe for burger seasoning, as it will add so much depth of flavor to the ground beef.
    • This is a great make-ahead recipe that can be stored cold until it's ready to serve, then popped into the oven for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.

    Impossible Cheeseburger Pie Toppings

    • Mushroom Swiss Cheeseburger Pie: Add sliced mushrooms to the ground beef while it cooks, and swap out cheddar for shredded Swiss or Gruyere cheese.
    • Santa Fe Cheeseburger Pie: Add diced jalapeno peppers, a squeeze of lime juice, and onion to the ground beef mix, then top the baked pie with slices of fresh avocado and a garnish of cilantro! Yum!
    • Cowboy Burger Pie: Add bacon crumbs and sriracha to the ground beef, then top the potatoes and cheese with French onions. When it's all done, add sliced fresh avocado and spicy mayo!

    Hamburger Pie Recipes FAQs

    What is cheeseburger pie made of?

    The classic Impossible Cheeseburger Pie, made famous by Bisquick, includes ground beef, cheese, tomatoes, and Bisquick pancake mix. This variation changes things up by using a pie crust instead of Bisquick and topping it with mashed potatoes to make it almost like Shepherd's pie!

    Who invented cheeseburger pie?

    It's hard to say where Cheeseburger pie comes from originally, as the concept has roots in many different meat pies and has been modified many times. However, it's most popular in Kansas, the USA's top producer of beef. It then gained fame with Betty Crocker's Bisquick-based pie!

    How to make good instant mashed potatoes?

    If you're short on time or resources, never fear- instant mashed potatoes are fast, easy, and extremely budget-friendly! To make instant mashed potatoes more palatable, use chicken broth instead of water, then stir in butter, sour cream and a bit of milk. If you have the chance, melting the butter in a pan with diced garlic adds a ton of flavor!
