Pioneer Woman Cheeseburger Pie Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
How To Make Pioneer Woman Cheeseburger Pie
- Prepare the oven and pie dish: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish and carefully fit the unbaked pie crust into it, pressing to remove any air pockets.
- Cook the beef filling: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion, cooking until the meat is thoroughly browned and the onions are translucent. Drain any excess grease and season generously with salt and black pepper.
- Mix the cheese layer: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, whole milk, eggs, ketchup, and mustard. Whisk together until well blended.
- Assemble the pie: Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly into the bottom of the pie crust. Gently pour the cheese mixture over the beef, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon to ensure even coverage.
- Bake the pie: Place the pie dish on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the pie crust is golden brown and the filling is set and slightly puffed.
- Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool in the dish on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps the pie set up for easier serving.
Recipe Tips
- Choose the Right Beef: Opt for lean ground beef (85/15) to balance flavor and moisture without too much grease.
- Pre-Bake the Crust: To prevent a soggy bottom, pre-bake your pie crust for 5-7 minutes before adding the fillings.
- Shred Your Own Cheese: Use freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-packaged for better melt and flavor in your pie.
- Let It Rest: Allow the pie to cool for 5 minutes after baking to help the filling set before slicing.
- Season Generously: Don’t skimp on the salt and pepper; proper seasoning brings out the flavors of the beef and cheese.
What To Serve With Cheeseburger Pie
Cheeseburger Pie pairs well with garlic-roasted asparagus, crispy sweet potato fries, buttered corn on the cob, and a fresh cucumber salad. It also can be served alongside creamy coleslaw, tangy beetroot salad, spicy grilled zucchini, and chilled apple carrot slaw for a delightful meal.
How To Store Cheeseburger Pie
Refrigerate: Cool the Cheeseburger Pie completely. Then, either cover the dish with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Freeze: For extended storage, freeze the Cheeseburger Pie. First, wrap it tightly with aluminum foil, then place it in a freezer bag or use a freezer-safe container. The pie can be frozen for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
How To Reheat Leftover Cheeseburger Pie
In The Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the leftover pie in an oven-safe dish and cover it with aluminum foil. Reheat for about 15-20 minutes, or until it is hot all the way through.
In The Microwave: Put a portion of the pie in a microwave-safe dish and cover it loosely with plastic wrap. Heat on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even warming.
In The Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the pie to an air fryer-safe container. Heat for 5-10 minutes, checking halfway to avoid overheating or drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make Cheeseburger Pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare a Cheeseburger Pie in advance. Assemble the pie up to one day before and keep it refrigerated. When you’re ready to serve, bake it according to the recipe instructions. This is a great way to manage time for dinner parties or busy weeknights.
What type of pie crust is best for Cheeseburger Pie?
For Cheeseburger Pie, a pre-made refrigerated pie crust works best for convenience and consistent results. If you prefer a homemade touch, a traditional butter pie crust recipe can also provide delicious results and extra flakiness.
Can I substitute ground beef with another type of meat?
