Oh my goodness…Oh MY GOODNESS! I just made the most amazing recipe for Cheeseburger Pie. My whole family was literally begging for more!! It was that good!
I will say, before I start getting comments, that this is NOT a low fat, low calorie, low sodium, low anything recipe. It is however, FABULOUS!
Here’s the recipe. You can find the printable version here.
California Cheeseburger Pie (Pillsbury Budget Ground Beef Recipes SIP #9.1)
Ingredients:
Crust
1 box (15 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box. ( I just made my own)
Filling
1 1/2 lb lean ground beef
1 onion (chopped)
2 cups cubed prepared cheese product
( I used Velveeta)
1/2 cup Thousand Island dressing
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
16 round dill pickle chips or 8 oblong dill pickle slices ( I used more because we love pickles)
1/4 teaspoon sesame seed
Toppings
Lettuce leaves
2 plum tomatoes, sliced
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Make pie crusts as directed on box for Two-Crust Pie, using 9 inch glass pie plate.
2. In 12-inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain.
3. Stir in cheese, dressing and the mustard. Reduce heat to low; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted. Spoon beef mixture into crust-lined pie plate. Arrange pickle chips over beef mixture.
4. Top with second crust; seal edge and flute. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. ( I didn’t have any sesame seeds) Cut slits in several places in top crust. Cover crust edge with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning (I didn’t do this); remove foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
5. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Top pie with lettuce and tomatoes. Serve with ketchup and mustard if desired.
We all agreed that this tastes very much like a Big Mac. It was sooo good! I’ll be making it again soon!
Yum! This reminds me of a family fave at my house: Chili Dog Casserole. Sooooo Bad, yet soooo good!
I have GOT to try this ……. tonight!
OMG! I have to try this. It's so unusual, especially with the pickle layer.
This sounds so good, I love Big Macs and limit myself to one a year:) I have to try this!

PS. I followed you in Linky Follower. Thanks for doing the same!
Ya know, I try to eat healthy every day. BUT…..once in a while (and more often than I’d like to admit) a girls just gotta have something GOOD. And THIS sounds GOOD! I have a similar recipe for a cheeseburger quiche (from a kids alphabet cookbook) and it’s very good, but this one looks…well, bigger! Thanks!
Looks good 🙂

made this too! and let me tell you there was a little skepticisim running around here while i was throwing it together! it was so good. felt like i should have had a dollup of mayo on top of tomato and lettuce but that would have been just too naughty 😉
I’m so glad you liked them both. The cheeseburger pie was my favorite by far but my husband loved the phillies.
Thanks for letting me know you tried and liked.
Made this yesterday evening for my family (my boyfriend and teenage brother are both cheeseburger fiends)… I was unsure of whether or not I would like the pickles in it, and it was DELICIOUS. An absolute hit and everyone wanted the recipe!!!
My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find the majority of your post’s to be precisely what I’m
looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content in your case?
I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on a few of
the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome weblog!
