Impossible Cheeseburger Pie

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Impossible Cheeseburger Pie is a midwest American casserole classic. Sauteed onions, beef, cheese and biscuit-crust make this simple and delicious hotdish a family favorite.

There are probably a million variations on this filling family favorite, including the ever popular popular Bisquick Impossible Cheeseburger Pie. But if you don’t happen to have a spare cup of Bisquick around, here is fantastic (and just as easy), version that bumps up the flavor letting you make Cheeseburger Pie without Bisquick.

How To Make Impossible Cheeseburger Pie

Did you grow up with Impossible Cheeseburger Pie, Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie, Hamburger Pie, or Cheeseburger Casserole?  No matter the name, this mid-century casserole pie was a favorite of Sarah from 2GeeksWhoEat.com and in this video she shares some memories of it while I show you how to make it from scratch.

What is in Impossible Cheeseburger Pie?

Cheeseburger pie is really just three major components.  The first is the meat and onion filling. I added a little extra flavor to it with Worcestershire and Lawry’s salt.  Then comes the biscuit baking mix, which you can use Bisquick, but I made my own with flour, baking powder and butter.  Then, top it all off with shredded cheese and bake.
