Step 4: Assemble the Pie
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the chilled pie dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie pan.
- Carefully transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough.
- Pour the beef and cheese mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Optionally, you can place a lattice or second layer of dough on top, brushing it with milk or egg wash for a golden finish.
Step 5: Bake the Pie
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is set.
- If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
- Allow the pie to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing to let the flavors meld and the filling firm up.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Serve the Southern Style Cheeseburger Pie hot, alongside classic southern sides like:
- Creamy mashed potatoes
- Coleslaw or corn salad
- Baked beans or roasted vegetables
For a fun twist, drizzle a little ketchup or barbecue sauce on each slice for an extra layer of flavor.
💡 Tips for the Best Cheeseburger Pie
- Use a mix of cheeses: Cheddar provides sharpness while Monterey Jack or mozzarella adds gooey meltiness.
- Don’t overwork the dough: Keep the crust tender by handling it minimally.
- Customize your seasonings: Add a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika for a southern flair.
- Let it rest: Allowing the pie to cool slightly ensures clean slices and prevents the filling from spilling.

If you want, I can also create a quick 30-minute shortcut version of this pie that still tastes indulgent but skips making a homemade crust. That version is great for busy weeknights. Do you want me to do that?
