Step 2: Prepare the Meat Mixture
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
- Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until the onion becomes translucent.
- Stir in the salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and mustard. Let this mixture simmer for 3–5 minutes so the flavors meld beautifully.
- Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 3: Layer the Pie
- Roll out your pie crust into a 9-inch (23 cm) pie pan, trimming the edges if necessary.
- Spread half of the cheddar cheese evenly over the bottom of the crust.
- Spoon the beef mixture on top, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and all the mozzarella on top of the beef layer.
Step 4: Make the Egg Mixture
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and evaporated milk until smooth.
- Carefully pour this mixture over the meat and cheese layers. This will create the custardy, “impossible” texture that makes the pie so unique.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
- Place the pie in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the egg mixture is set. You can test by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.
Step 6: Cool Slightly and Serve
Let the pie cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps it hold its shape. Serve with optional toppings like pickles, fresh tomato, or a sprinkle of lettuce for that classic cheeseburger touch.
Tips for the Perfect Impossible Cheeseburger Pie

- Pie Crust Options: A buttery homemade crust adds richness, but store-bought works perfectly for a quick version.
- Customize Your Flavor: Add cooked bacon, sautéed mushrooms, or jalapeños to elevate the pie.
