The Bisquick Impossible Cheeseburger Pie is THE perfect fast, family-friendly and delicious dinner! There is a reason it has been a HIT for decades! Looking for something a little different? Try my Tomato Pie!
This casserole pie has been loved by many since it was first baked back in the mid-century and these recipes are often passed down through generations. There are lots of variations of this family favourite recipe, but I’m definitely a big fan of the Bisquick variety!
Bisquick started adding this “impossible pie” to its boxes back in the 1970’s with the idea of making a dessert that was impossibly easy to put together, and it certainly took off. If you have yet to taste it, you’ll soon see why when you do! I have made the dessert version with my Saskatoon Impossible Pie and it’s easy and delicious!
Ingredients in Cheeseburger Pie
Cheeseburger Pie is so easy to make and you will have most of the ingredients in your pantry or fridge already.
- Ground beef – lean is best
- Onion – I always use white for the sharpest taste, but you can use yellow
- Bacon – I like to use thick cut bacon
- Cheddar cheese – Sharp or old cheddar adds the most flavor to this pie
- Original Bisquick™ mix – see below for how to make a homemade substitution
- Milk – you can use any milk that you want to
- Eggs – large eggs as per usual
How to Make Bisquick Impossible Cheeseburger Pie
- Spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
- Place the ground beef, onion, and bacon into a large skillet. Fry until the ground beef is browned, the onions are soft and translucent and the bacon is cooked. Drain the grease and place in the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top.
- Whisk together the baking mix, the milk, and the eggs,
- Pour over the cheese and ground beef evenly.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until a knife or toothpick inserted comes out clean.
What is Bisquick?
In case you’re not familiar with Bisquick, let me fill you in (you won’t look back!). Bisquick is a super handy pre-mixed baking mix that’s made with flour, baking powder, shortening, and salt. It really speeds up the baking process and it’s something I couldn’t do without at this stage! It’s a great way of cutting corners and reducing time in the kitchen without having a terrible effect on the overall quality of your meal (it really doesn’t!).
Homemade Bisquick Mix
I personally think it’s much easier to make this recipe with Bisquick on hand, but if you don’t have any in the kitchen – don’t worry, there’s an alternative! For a quick Bisquick substitute, you’ll need:
- ½ cup flour
- 1 tsp of baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- 2 tsp of cold butter
- Mix the flour, sugar, baking soda, sugar, and salt in a bowl and work in the cold butter using a pastry cutter until you get a breadcrumb-like mix.
Carbs in Cheeseburger Pie
A serving of Bisquick Impossible Cheeseburger Pie has about 360 calories and 11g of carbs. So it’s not the worst on the carbohydrate front but you definitely need to keep an eye on your serving portions if you’re monitoring your carb intake.
Gluten Free Option for Bisquick Cheeseburger Pie
If you’re celiac or generally sensitive to gluten, you can still enjoy this yummy dish! Bisquick have a gluten-free mix that makes this mouth-watering dish an option for everyone! You can pick it up in most supermarkets or online.

I forwarded this recipe to my son.
We made this (for the first time) for dinner tonight.
It was pretty tasty! We drizzled a little ketchup over it (to make it more like a burger).
We plan on making it again!
It is pretty good!
PS: Instead of cheddar cheese- we used Kraft [Deluxe] Sliced American Cheese – (cut into half-slice wide strips).
The Bisquick DID-NOT taste biscuit-like, or like pancakes. It was a good binder with a slight starch flavor.
The star of the dish was the meat – then the cheese- with the Bisquick holding it together.
When we started slicing into it – it looked like raw dough under the browned crust on top – BUT no worries – it was melted cheese.

WHY O WHY DONT YOU SHOW THE MEASUREMENTS OF EACH INGREDIENT TO MAKE THIS QUICHE OR ANY QUICHE HERE!????? ALSO I HAVE TI USE THIS RECIPE CAUSE NO WHERE DO I SEE “BACON EGG CHEESE QUICHE” !!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!?
Mary B says
This is a question. My hubby has to have creamy or wet food due to cancer. How can I make this more creamy or is that even possible? Thanks (great recipe, just need some help modifying a bit).
Linda says
Try using a food processor or a blender. You would probably only be smoothing a small to medium portion size portion so a blender would probably work.
Pulse the button to get it to a good consistancy (and not OVER do it).
Lynn Wynn says
Halve cherry tomatoes and add to the top, cut side up, after adding the egg/milk/bisquick mixture.
Tom says
Can you line dish with parchment paper for cheeseburger pie?
Mary says
I have been making this for years! I substitute the ground beef with 1 lb. of mild Italian sausage for extra flavor. My son goes wild boar hunting and has sausage made from it in one lb casings and I use that when it is available kicking it up a notch. I have never put bacon in it because I have a really, really old copy of the recipe I cut off the Bisquick box years ago and it does not include bacon. We usually have this for dinner on nights we want breakfast for dinner!
goody says
This is great made with the Impossible meatless ground!!
Jillian says
If you’ve been stalling on making this dish, then stall no more friend! This is such an easy thing to make on a busy weeknight after work for you and the whole family, not an expensive meal to make and taste’s FANTASTIC!!!!

How do I stop the SMS text messages coming from your website? I did not sign up for it nor do I want it
Trudy Gerdeman says
I saw a picture of this recipe, it had tomato slices on top. After 25 mon
I’m going to take out, put cheese on then tomatoes…bake about 8 to 10 min more. Thumbs up or down?
Bunny Peters says
My husband loved this pie. It didn’t last….
I added 1 teaspoon cumin & 1 can of kidney beans to the onions & veggie sausage (we don’t have meat in our house due to allergies). No one knew the difference between the veggie sausage and seasoned hamburger….. Now this dish is in our “recipe rotation”😀😀😀
Andrea B says
I am shocked at how decent this was. I didn’t have bacon so I used bacon bits and it worked well. Besides that I didn’t change a thing. I was really nervous on the bisquick mix because it was kinda runny with only 1/3 cup dry mix but my God it worked! This will definitely be a new ground beef go to thank you for sharing.
Kathy says
Do you have to use onion?
Rachel says
I made 2. One I just did beef and cheese and bacon. The other I did the onion, bancon and added chopped pickles to it and my pickle lovers in the family loved it! 🙂 Thanks for the quick easy recipe that even my picky members loved!
Martha says
Your Homemade Bisquick mix you wrote down in the ingredients; 1tsp baking powder, but in the instructions it’s baking soda. Which one is it? Does it matter?

I JUST have to say one thing.. Thank You ?
I have been a busy beaver in the kitchen since the Covid-19 broke out…
Luckily I’ve discovered that there is a grocery delivery ap and I’ve been non stop making orders ?
Like you “K” housework gives me hives ? So I decided cooking an baking was going to not only keep me busy, But putting on smiles for family and friends… the Hamburger meals are my VERY most. Favourite Hands Down❣️
The cheeseburger pie was my latest and I took it over to my daughters today dropping it off on her doorstep like a pizza delivery man (without the payment ?)
My Grandson being a little fusspot (not from our side of the family, we’re Hungarian, we eat everything, including the kitchen sink.. as long as it’s sorinkled with Paprika ?)
He L♥️VED it!!!
So on to another Recipe ?
Thank you KaryLyn .
. Your the Cats Ass Lady❣️ ?
Anna-Marie S says
Ooops sorry Karlynn for spelling your name wrong ?
Cathy says
Best ever. All the other recipes for this are Not the original. This is IT! This is my go to site for all my recipes.
Nancy Thomas says
I use ground Turkey, onion, celery, brown/saute in one Tbl butter, don’t drain, add to PAM sprayed baking dish. Salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, garlic powder, thyme are the seasonings I use in milk, egg and bisquick. Chop raw broccoli to small-ish florets and layer over meat, then add shredded yellow cheese. Pour liquid over meat, broccoli, cheese. Then layer crumbled blue cheese and more shredded parmesan over top. Bake as instructed. Comes out like stuffing with broccoli and cheese. Yum!
Cheryl says
Sounds to me like you made your own recipe and rated that. If you want to o that then why don’t you just leave no stars, because you are not rating the recipe posted here.
Anna-Marie S says
I agree Cheryl!!
Sounds to me she’s using this site instead of making up her own website to post her recipes.. NOT cool!!!
Kimberly Carlson says
Thank You! I was thinking the same thing……. they only missed kitchen sink……
Catherine says
My family loved this. I made it years ago, using bisquick recipe, but it didn’t come out as good. If it’s the same, I guess I did better this time. Does the salt and pepper go in the beef or the topping?
Karlynn Johnston says
400! Fixed and thanks for letting me know!
Myrna says
What temperature? Your recipe does not state tyre temp.
John Starklauf says
We have been making this for years and everyone loves it. A quick meal when time is short.
Karlynn Johnston says
It’s a classic for good reason!
