Growing up in the South, weeknight dinners were all about comfort, flavor, and using what you had on hand. This Southern Style Cheeseburger Pie brings back memories of my mama pulling together a hearty meal in one skillet and a pie dish, no fuss. It was always the kind of dinner that made everyone come running to the table — warm, cheesy, and satisfying.
She’d brown the beef while chatting with us kids about our day, then mix up the simple batter that would bake into a golden crust right on top. The smell of cheddar and beef wafting through the house was the sure sign that supper was almost ready. It’s one of those timeless dishes that feels like a hug on a plate — easy to make, and always gone in minutes.
