Here’s a copycat-style Pioneer Woman Cheeseburger Pie—a hearty, cheesy, comforting casserole that tastes just like a cheeseburger in pie form.

Pro Tips
- Cheese mix: Use a combination of sharp cheddar + Monterey Jack for extra flavor.
- Veggie boost: Add sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers with the beef.
- Make-ahead: Assemble the pie and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
- Crispier crust: Bake pie crust 5–7 minutes before adding filling.
If you want, I can also give a skillet version or a low-carb Pioneer Woman Cheeseburger Pie using a cauliflower crust.
