 This Bacon Cheeseburger Pot Pie recipe is hearty and oh so yummy! This pot pie also tastes exactly like a bacon cheeseburger, it’ll be a hit!

The golden flaky pie crust takes the place of the bun and fries, making this pie a meal all on its own but feel free to add some sides for a super filling meal! 

How To Make This Bacon Cheeseburger Pot Pie

Brown the ground chuck in a large cast iron skillet  and set aside. In the same skillet, crisp the bacon and transfer it to the cooked beef. Add the onion to the skillet and cook until softened.
 
Return the beef and bacon to the skillet, add water, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, seasoned salt, kosher salt, and black pepper. Top the beef mixture with the cheese slices.
 
Place the dough on top of the cheese and spread it to the inside edges of the skillet. Brush the top with the beaten egg and sprinkle the dough with sesame seeds. Bake at 375°F for 25-35 until the top is deep golden brown and the burger mixture is bubbly.
 
To serve, place a spoonful of the pot pie onto each plate and serve with the desired hamburger toppings on the side (if toppings are placed on top of the casserole, the crust will gets soggy).
 
Enjoy!

Top Tips For This Bacon Cheeseburger Pot Pie

  • This recipe can work  in a deep dish 9 inch pie pan or a regular 10 inch pie pan.
  • If cooking it in a 9×13-inch casserole dish instead of the cast iron, cook the bacon, onion and ground chuck in a large skillet, then pour the mixture into a sprayed casserole dish and top with the crescent dough. Finish cooking in the oven.
  • Top your pie with your favorite burger fixings such as shredded lettuce, tomato, pickles, bacon, red onion and avocado.
  • This pie is hearty enough to stand alone as a full meal. I often serve it with a green salad or vegetables.

Can this recipe be frozen? If yes…do I completely bake it and then freeze, or assemble to a certain point and then freeze?

You can freeze after step 7 or after fully cooking the dish! If frozen before cooking, bake directly from frozen, adding 15-20 minutes to the final bake time. If fully cooked, let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating!

Yum. Pot pies are a winter season go-to. Loved this version and made it in a baking pan instead of a skillet.5 stars
