I’ve been in a muffin tin baking kind of mood lately. A few weeks ago, I used this same Impossible Cheeseburger Pie recipe for our Chantal Cookware pie dish themed #SundaySupper HERE. My family already likes this recipe, so I figured I would try making it in a muffin tin since our meatloaf muffins were such a big hit. We scored another home run with these Muffin Tin Mini Impossible Cheeseburger Pies!
Ingredients:
1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix
1 cup milk
2 eggs
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400°F. Spray regular sized muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. In skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in salt.
3. Divide ground beef into 12 muffin spaces. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
4. In small bowl, stir remaining ingredients with fork or wire whisk until blended.
5. Pour mixture into muffin cups over other layered ingredients
6. Bake about 25 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean
Everyone devoured these light and puffy individual pies. I used shredded cheddar jack cheese for a better melt in the cups. Regular cheddar can sometimes be a little more greasy when melted, but that is just my opinion. You should use your favorite cheese for the flavor profile you want to achieve. I, of course, had to pair my little pies with a side of ketchup and sliced kosher dill pickles, just like I do a regular cheeseburger.
As the muffins baked they developed a semi-crisp crust and top, which adds a different texture to the light and fluffy center. We made rice and green beans for sides, but to be honest, you could easily skip the starch and not miss it. These mini pies would make a great light dinner when accompanied by a side salad. These yummy little gems will definitely be making their way into our monthly menu rotation.

Tried this tonight. My 2 teenage sons loved them. I loved how easy they were to make 🙂
This just made my day, Marilyn! I love hearing that my recipes are a hit! Glad the boys loved the cheeseburger pies!
I am going to make these now!! I too have a hard time finding something NEW to do with ground beef. Have you ever made them and put them in the freezer? Would love to know how they do thawed and reheated.
I didn’t have any left to try and freeze, so I am not sure how they would come out. The minimal leftovers we had were eaten the next day. If you freeze some, I would love to hear your results on how they turned out. 🙂

Hey KP! Do you think these would be ok to make a day ahead?
They are definitely best fresh out of the oven, but would probably be ok rewarmed the day after. They probably would not be as fluffy in texture. Let me know if you try making them ahead. I’d love to hear your results.
