Cheeseburger Pie is an easy recipe that my whole family loves!
Lean ground beef and onions are combined with our favorite bacon cheeseburger toppings and spread into a flaky crust. I add my favorite cheesy topping and bake until golden.
The results are an easy pie that is reminiscent of your favorite summer bbq meal!
How to Make Cheeseburger Pie
When summer arrives we’re always firing up the grill to make our favorite Jalapeño Cheddar Burgers serving them up with big bowls of Dill Pickle Pasta Salad!
Truly fewer things better than a great hamburger… except a bacon cheeseburger! This easy Cheeseburger Pie combines those same great flavors in a simple pie recipe.
Combining our fave flavors in an easy to make weeknight recipe is the best… loads of bacon, gooey cheese and lean beef packed into one casserole that everyone will rave about!
I like to keep this simple and quick so I pour the filling for this cheeseburger pie into a store bought pie crust (not deep dish). If you have a homemade pie crust recipe you love, you can definitely use it in this recipe or get creative and make a crust with crescent rolls or even a Cheeseburger pie with a bisquick crust!
If you’re looking to keep this lower in carbs, you can skip the crust altogether… honestly this recipe is so versatile the options are endless!
I use lean ground beef in this recipe but you can certainly sub it for ground chicken or turkey if you prefer.
Once baked and bubbly, I let this hamburger pie cool for about 10 minutes and slice and serve. I sometimes put out a fun plate of toppings for everyone to add to their serving… chopped dill pickles, sliced red onion and diced tomatoes to name a few. We serve this with some Crispy Oven Fries and veggies and Ranch Dressing Dip for the perfect meal.

Instructions

Holly the picture looks like it has little pieces of pickle chopped in. Did you add pickle? I think I might. This looks great.
Yes you can add the pickles on! Totally optional!
This is what’s for dinner tonight. It’s ready to go in the oven now.
When you see bacon, cups of cheese, pie crust, hamburger,etc. Why would you even ask. Jeesh, I don’t think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out its not a nutricians dream recipe, but probably super tasty..lol.
I have a picky eater and more enduring if the barbecue sauce or any of the spices are really strong tasting. Also if I wanted to make the filling in advance, would you store it in a separate container or do you think I could add it to the piecrust? It might make it to soggy…Thanks, it looks great!
I think I would store it separately to ensure the pie crust stays nice and crisp.
Was a little dry could you add an egg to the meat/ bacon mixture?
I haven’t tried adding an egg to the mixture. If you are finding it dry you might like to add some extra sauce or even chopped mushrooms which have moisture.
yummy….an super easy.
I’m making this tomorrow night. I was wondering if I put pickles in it how much and what kind?? Dill or what?
I would use about ⅓ cup chopped dill pickles (personal preference).
My boyfriend is wanting me to make this for dinner, but I’m in need of suggestions for what to serve with it? Thanks!
We like to serve a nice fresh salad with this. If you’re looking for a starch, homemade oven fries or roasted potatoes are a good choice.
You are a great person and I hope that I can make the bacon cheeseburger pie as great as you can.
Thank you Dorrine! I hope you enjoy it!
I just wasn’t crazy about the flavor! I guess if I tried again I would def not put mustard or bar b que sauce!! But thanks for sharing. I like trying new things!!
Add some green chile or jalapeños for a little extra zip.
Yummy! Great idea!
This is a very good recipe….the first time I made it i use half cheddar and half mozzerella. It was very good. Now I am cooking one exact. Taste just like a bacon cheeze burger….
I used turkey and did not have to drain. Thanks and More Bacon….Thanks!
Hi, I live in the uk and I’m always looking for mince beef recipes for my son who claims to dislike so many things like bolognese, shepherds pie etc. I’d really like to try this and I’ve bought some shortcrust pasty to use but it’s not baked yet. Do I need to bake the crust first before adding the filling? Thanks
You do not need to pre-bake the crust for this recipe. Enjoy!!
Thank you
I am going to make this tonight. I can’t help but notice it looks like pickles are in he pie yet you omitted them from the recipe. Was this in error?
The pickles were only on top of the pie, there are onions in the image in the pie. :)
Delish
What. Size pie plate do I use?
I used a 9″ pie plate.
I plan on making this one night but making it vegetarian. I can’t wait!
Sounds yummy, I must try!
Hi Holly, This pie looks great! with the hubby recovering for Cancer and our diets changing to accommodate him and what he can and cannot eat, I have been looking for some beef recipes that would appeal to his appetite and ability to eat. Thanks for all the great ideas, I may add some chopped pickles into this as well :)
Yum! I think chopped pickles would be a delicious addition!
