What is the best type of beef for this recipe?

The best type of beef to use for this recipe is ground chuck. It has a good amount of fat, which will keep the burgers moist and provide a lot of flavors. You can use leaner beef if you want to use leaner beef, but the burgers may be a little dryer.

Can I add or replace some ingredients?

Yes, you can add or replace some of the ingredients in this recipe. For example, if you don’t like onions, you could leave them out.

Or, if you want to add some more flavor, you could try adding some chopped garlic or green peppers. Get creative and make this recipe your own! We hope you enjoy this delicious and easy recipe for the Pioneer Woman’s Cheeseburger Pie.

Try one of these variations:

  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef.
  • Add a can of drained black beans or kidney beans to the beef mixture.
  • Stir in a cup of cooked rice, quinoa, or pasta along with the beef and vegetables.
  • Top the casserole with a layer of stuffing mix before adding the cheese.
  • Swap out the crescent rolls for phyllo dough or puff pastry.
  • Use your favorite barbecue sauce in place of the ketchup and mustard.
  • Add a layer of cooked, crumbled bacon or sausage before topping with the cheese.

Stir in some chopped pickles or relish along with the beef mixture. Make a breakfast casserole by adding some scrambled eggs to the beef before cooking.

Tips and tricks for a better recipe

Ground beef

First of all, preheat the oven to the correct temperature: 375 degrees F. This will help ensure that your casserole is cooked evenly.

  1. Use lean ground beef to reduce the amount of fat in the dish.
  2. Drain any excess grease from the beef after cooking it to reduce the fat content further.
  3. Add fresh or frozen vegetables to the casserole for extra nutrition. Try diced peppers, mushrooms, or spinach.
  4. Use low-fat or fat-free cheese to reduce the fat and calories.
  5. Make your crescent rolls using a healthier recipe or store-bought whole wheat dough.
  6. Use a smaller dish to reduce the overall size of the casserole. An 8×8-inch dish should be sufficient for most families.
  7. Cut the casserole into smaller portions and freeze individual servings for a quick and easy meal later.
  8. Serve the casserole with a side of salad or steamed vegetables to round out the meal.
  9. Add some spice to the casserole by stirring in a teaspoon or two of chili powder, Cajun seasoning, or Greek seasoning.
  10. For a cheesy flavor without all the calories, try using nutritional yeast.
  11. Top the casserole with chopped scallions, diced tomatoes, or shredded lettuce for a fresh and flavorful garnish.

If you have leftovers, reheat them in the oven or microwave until hot. Do not reheat more than once.

And finally, freeze leftover casserole in an airtight container for three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
