Impossible Cheeseburger Pie!!!

May be an image of shepherd's pie, potpie and text that says 'PIONEER WOMAN CHEESEBURGER PIE Ingredients: 1 large onion, ion,ch chopped 1 pound ground beef 2/ teaspoon salt 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese'


Step 3: Make the “Impossible” Batter

The magic of this pie is the batter that cooks into a light, cornbread-like layer:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until fully incorporated. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.

Step 4: Assemble the Pie

  1. Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  2. Spoon the cheeseburger filling over the batter.
  3. Top with the remaining batter, gently spreading it over the filling. It doesn’t need to completely cover—it will puff up while baking.
  4. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top for an extra cheesy crust.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean. The filling may peek through slightly—this is perfect.


Step 6: Serve & Enjoy

Let the pie rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This allows the layers to set and makes serving easier. For extra fun, drizzle with ketchup or mustard to mimic a classic cheeseburger experience.

Serve warm with a fresh side salad, fries, or even potato chips for the ultimate comfort meal.


Tips & Variations

  • Cheese options: Try Swiss, mozzarella, or pepper jack for different flavor profiles.
  • Veggie boost: Add chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach to the beef mixture.
  • Mini pies: Make this in muffin tins for individual cheeseburger bites.
  • Make ahead: Assemble the pie the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake the next day, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

This Impossible Cheeseburger Pie is exactly what it promises—juicy beef, melty cheese, and a golden, fluffy crust in one glorious bite. Once you try it, your regular burger nights may never be the same again!
