Layer the Beef Mixture: Spoon the seasoned beef mixture evenly over the Bisquick layer in the pie dish.
Add Remaining Batter: Pour the remaining Bisquick batter over the top of the beef mixture, spreading it evenly. It’s okay if it doesn’t cover perfectly—the batter will spread as it bakes.
Sprinkle with Cheese: For a cheesy finish, sprinkle an additional 1/2 cup of cheese over the top layer. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the cheese to give it a burger bun look.
4. Bake
Bake the Pie: Place the pie dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Cool Slightly Before Serving: Allow the pie to cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing to help it set.
Tips for Perfect Cheeseburger Pie
Use Lean Beef: Using lean ground beef reduces grease, which keeps the bottom crust from getting soggy.
Customize Your Toppings: Add diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or crumbled bacon to the filling for extra flavor.
Cheese Choices: While cheddar is classic, Swiss, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack also work well.
Use Pickles for Authenticity: Adding diced pickles or relish to the beef mixture gives it a tangy burger-like taste.
