Step 3: Assemble the Pie
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle or rectangle large enough to fit your pie dish.
- Gently transfer the dough to a greased 9-inch pie pan, pressing it into the corners. Trim any excess dough.
- Spread half of the beef mixture evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella over the beef.
- Layer the remaining beef mixture on top, then finish with the remaining cheese.
Step 4: Bake the Pie
- Brush the edges of the crust with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Serving tip: Add pickles, tomatoes, or a little shredded lettuce to mimic the full cheeseburger experience.
Step 5: Enjoy!
Slice your Southern Style Cheeseburger Pie and serve it warm. The layers of cheesy, savory beef and the buttery crust create a comforting, hearty meal that everyone will love. Pair it with a side of coleslaw, sweet potato fries, or a fresh green salad for a complete Southern-style dinner.
Final Thoughts
The beauty of this dish is its versatility. You can add bacon, jalapeños, or even a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture for a twist. It’s a great make-ahead meal, perfect for busy weeknights or weekend gatherings.
Southern Style Cheeseburger Pie is more than a dish—it’s a hug on a plate, combining the best of comfort food in every bite.
If you want, I can also create a shortcut version using refrigerated pie crust and pre-cooked beef, so it takes less than 30 minutes to assemble and bake. It’s perfect for weeknights.
Do you want me to do that?
