Sometimes you just want a recipe from your childhood. I was over on Goodeness Gracious and saw where Cris posted a recipe Momma always made when we were growing up, Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie. Yum! This recipe has nostalgia written all over it for me and Cris. So I knew I wanted to try it in my crock pot. (Check out the oven version here.) Do you have a recipe from your childhood that you love to make?

Ingredients for Crock Pot Cheeseburger Pie
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 cup Velveeta (or equivalent) cubed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose baking mix
- salt and pepper to taste
How to Make Cheeseburger Pie in a Crock Pot
-
Brown your ground beef with your onion, salt and pepper and drain
-
Pour your ground beef mixture into a slightly greased 2.5 quart slow cooker (I used Dotty, my 2.5-quart polka dot crock pot)
-
Top your beef mixture with your cheese
-
Mix together your remaining ingredients and pour evenly over everything
-
Place 3-4 paper towels under your lid and cover and cook on high for 1 1/2-2 hours, until it can pass the toothpick test
Crock Pot Cheeseburger Pie Notes:
- If you look at the oven version, you will notice that the ingredients are a tidbit different. I changed the cheese because I loved the way that it tasted with Velveeta. I also changed up the batter so that it was a little thicker and would cook up better in the crock pot (since slow cookers keep the moisture in).
- In case you are wondering, the paper towels catch the moisture from the lid so that it doesn’t drip onto your pie.
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

I Make this often. Better in the crockpot than the oven for sure.
If adding broccoli, should I blanch first?
I haven’t tried this with broccoli added in. I think your idea to blanch it first is a good one. If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!
Would corn bread mix work?
Hi Shaun!
I haven’t tried it that way, but if you do, let me know what you think! Enjoy!

Could you use a cornbread mix?
Hi Denise!
