Southern Style Cheeseburger Pie – A Hug on a Plate

Some recipes are more than just food — they’re memories baked into every bite. This Southern Style Cheeseburger Pie is one of those dishes for me. Growing up in the South, it was a weeknight hero — warm, cheesy, hearty, and ready with whatever was in the pantry. I still remember my mama at the stove, browning beef while chatting about our day, the smell of cheddar drifting through the house. The moment it came out of the oven, golden and bubbling, we’d be lining up with plates in hand.
