Scale
Filling
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Vegetables (such as chopped bell peppers and onions)
- To taste Seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder)
Crust
- 1 Pie Crust (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your pie crust packaging or recipe, usually around 375°F (190°C).
- Brown Ground Beef: In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks.
- Add Vegetables and Seasonings: Stir in the chopped vegetables and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
- Melt Cheese: Add the shredded cheddar cheese into the skillet and stir until the cheese has melted and the filling is well combined and heated through.
- Prepare Pie Crust: Transfer the beef and cheese mixture evenly into the pie crust, spreading it out to cover the bottom completely.
- Bake the Pie: Place the pie with the filling into the preheated oven and bake according to the pie crust instructions, typically 25-30 minutes, until the crust is golden and cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cheeseburger pie cool slightly before slicing it into portions and serving warm.

- Vegetables can be swapped for mushrooms, zucchini, or your favorite mix.
- Adjust seasonings to your taste, adding spices like chili flakes for heat if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
