How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Pie
So, you don’t have to be a kitchen wizard to throw this together. Grab your ground beef, bacon, cheese, and whatever else you’d put on an actual cheeseburger. Brown the beef (takes like five minutes, tops). Toss in some chopped-up bacon—don’t skip this, it’s pretty much the best part. Trust me. Drain that fat off, then stir in some seasonings. I go classic with a shake of garlic powder and onion powder.
Now, here’s the twist: instead of buns, pour that beef mixture into a pie dish. Beat up some eggs with milk and flour, sort of like pancake batter but less fussy, and dump it over the meat. Scatter cheese—go wild. Bake it till the top sets and you get a golden, bubbly crust. Chopping up a few pickles for serving makes you look like you tried extra hard.
Don’t overthink it. Swap cheddar for pepper jack if you want a spicy punch or add bits of sautéed mushrooms (not very traditional, but why not?). I’ve even seen people use store-bought pie crust underneath but honestly, the base is solid without the carbs.
“Honestly, I never thought a pie could taste just like a bacon cheeseburger, but this one delivers! Easy, filling, and my picky kids ask for seconds every time.”
A Tasty Twist on an American Classic
Let’s be real—traditional cheeseburgers are great, but this pie format just… makes it fun? It’s got all your favorite parts. The gooey cheese melts into the beef, the little bacon crumbles add crunch, and the soft, kinda eggy topping holds it all together. And hey, there’s something about eating a burger with a fork for once.
When I first heard of a pie that tastes like a burger, I raised an eyebrow. But after the first bite, I was hooked. It’s the sort of dinner you bring to a friend’s house and everyone keeps asking for the recipe.
