How to Make Savory One-Pan Cheeseburger Pie: Easy Dinner Delight!

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Roll out one pie crust into a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan, pressing it gently to fit the bottom and sides.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the chopped onion and garlic until the beef is browned and onions are soft, about 7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
3. Stir in the thawed mixed vegetables, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Let it cook for another 3 minutes to combine flavors. Remove from heat.
4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Set aside.
5. Spread half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the pie crust. Pour the beef mixture over the cheese layer, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Carefully pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over everything.
6. Cover with the second pie crust and crimp edges to seal. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let the pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
8. Garnish with sliced pickles and chopped parsley if desired for that classic cheeseburger touch.
9. Serve warm and enjoy your easy, crowd-pleasing cheeseburger pie!

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a deep-dish pie pan to hold all the filling without overflow.
• Don’t skip draining the beef fat; it prevents a soggy crust.
• Feel free to swap in your favorite cheese varieties like Monterey Jack or pepper jack for a twist.
• If you like it spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
• Letting the pie rest before cutting helps the filling set and slices hold better.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover cheeseburger pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to 2 months.

To reheat, warm individual slices in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes or until heated through. Microwaving works too, but the crust won’t stay as crisp.
