The One-Pan Cheeseburger Pie
This recipe has been a Simply Recipes reader favourite for over a decade. It is the kind of weeknight dinner that sounds almost too simple to be true — ground beef, a handful of pantry staples, one skillet, and one oven. The result is a bubbling, golden-topped pie that tastes exactly like a cheeseburger, slice for slice.

Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) lean ground beef (85/15)
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt & 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
- 3/4 cup Bisquick or all-purpose baking mix
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Pickles, ketchup, and mustard for serving
Directions
1
Brown the beef with aromatics
Heat an oven-safe skillet. Cook ground beef until browned, then add onion and garlic. Drain excess fat.
2
Season and layer cheese
Stir in Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper. Top with half the cheddar.
3
Pour batter and bake
Whisk Bisquick, milk, and eggs. Pour over beef. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes until golden.
4
Melt cheese and serve
Scatter remaining cheese on top, rest 5 minutes, and slice into wedges.
💡 CHEF'S PRO TIPS
- Use an oven-safe skillet so you go straight from stovetop to oven.
- Drain the fat thoroughly so the crust bakes light and fluffy.

This has completely replaced my normal avocado toast! The beans blend so well you cannot even tell, and I stay full until lunchtime!

Great trick for adding protein without cooking eggs on busy mornings. Added a pinch of red pepper flakes and lemon zest—delicious.
