A comforting and easy-to-make cheeseburger pie featuring a crispy, flaky crust and a savory ground beef and cheese filling. Perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package refrigerated pie dough (or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons pickles, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out one pie dough sheet into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing gently to fit the bottom and sides. Trim excess dough but leave enough to fold over later.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart. Drain excess fat.
  4. Add chopped onion and garlic to the beef. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until onions soften and become translucent.
  5. Stir in ketchup, mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes to meld flavors. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Remove from heat and fold in shredded cheddar cheese and chopped pickles if using.
  7. Spoon filling evenly into prepared crust. Unroll second pie dough sheet and place over filling. Trim excess dough and pinch edges to seal.
  8. Brush top crust with melted butter. Cut a few small slits in the top crust to let steam escape.
  9. Bake on middle rack for 35-40 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling bubbles.
  10. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Let pie dough sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before shaping for easier handling. Drain excess beef fat to prevent soggy crust. Brush crust with melted butter for golden color. Use slits in top crust to allow steam to escape. Cover crust edges with foil if browning too fast. For gluten-free, use almond flour crust; for dairy-free, use vegan cheese and margarine.
