Impossible Cheeseburger Pie!!!

Impossible Cheeseburger Pie!!! — A Retro Comfort Food Classic, Reimagined

If you’re craving something hearty, cheesy, and full of classic diner flavor — but without the fuss of forming burger patties or flipping anything on a grill — the Impossible Cheeseburger Pie is your answer. This dish, originally made popular by Betty Crocker in the 1970s, earns its “impossible” name because it magically forms into a layered pie as it bakes: a base of savory ground beef, topped with melty cheese, and crowned with a self-forming crust made from a simple batter.

Below is a detailed, step-by-step guide to crafting this nostalgic masterpiece right in your kitchen.
