Easy Hamburger Pot Pie
The easiest ground beef casserole has layers of beef, vegetables, cream of onion soup and baking mix to create a delicious Hamburger Pot Pie.
Ground Beef Pot Pie Casserole Recipe
A rich and creamy ground beef pot pie with plenty of meat, carrots, peas and green beans covered with a layer of Red Lobster Biscuit Mix is some of our best comfort food.
Also known as a Ground Beef Cobbler or Cheddar Bay Hamburger Casserole, there is no stirring necessary to make this easy family dinner.
We have several ground beef casseroles in our meal rotation from Cheesy Beef and Hashbrown Casserole to our Baked Ziti with Ground Beef and knew this recipe would be a good fit.
This Ground Beef Pot Pie recipe is typically made in a 9 x 13″ dish but can but cut in half to bake in a pie plate.
Use Bisquick or add even more cheddar flavor with a box of Red Lobster Biscuit Mix. If you want a quick homemade pie topping use the dry ingredients in our Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
Why This Hamburger Pot Pie Recipe Works
- A short cut that makes this hamburger pot pie special and so easy is using a box of Cheddar Bay Biscuit mix just like we do in our Chicken Cobbler.
- This creates a wonderful blend of protein, vegetables and carbs in a single meal.
- Serve this easy ground beef casserole with a simple green salad for a dinner the whole family enjoys.
- Not needing to stir saves time and makes a stress free recipe.
Ingredients Needed
- Ground Beef – lean beef, cooked, crumbled and drained.
- Mixed Vegetables – a bag of frozen mixed carrots, peas, corn and green beans.
- Cream of Onion Soup – cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery works well if you enjoy that flavor profile.
- Beef Broth – Better than bouillon takes less space in the kitchen and has a richer taste.
- Bisquick or Red Lobster Biscuit Mix – A flour based mixture that creates the pot pie “crust”.
- Milk – Helps activate the crust and make the casserole a little richer.
- Butter – Slices arranged over top of the baking mix for extra flavor.
Step By Step Instructions
Brown the ground beef and drain.
Pour in the bottom of a 9 x 13″ baking dish.
Open a bag of frozen mixed vegetables and spread over the cooked beef.
Mix together the baking mix, including seasoning packet and milk.
Whisk together well. Pour over top of the frozen vegetables and spread out with the back side of a spoon.
Mix together the broth and cream of onion soup. Pour over the baking mix.
Slice half a stick of butter and lay over the top.
Bake in an oven preheated to 350°F for 50 to 60 minutes until the crust is lightly brown and set all the way through.
Allow to set for at least 10 minutes before serving warm. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Use anywhere from 1 to 2 pounds of ground beef to adjust how meaty the Cheddar Bay Hamburger Casserole turns out.
- Don’t forget to include the separate packet of seasoning mix in with the flour.
- Cream of mushroom and cream of celery soup make great substitutes to the cream of onion soup which is a more neutral flavor.
- If using Bisquick feel free to add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese to the casserole and seasoned salt or other generous seasonings to the ground beef.

Delish! Husband loved it also! I didn’t have cream of onion but had cream of bacon on hand and used that!
Very tasty and so easy! My kind of recipe!
Do I add the seasoning packet to the mix??
Yes – add the seasoning packet! I will clarify the instructions. Hope you enjoy! ~Jennifer
Was a bit nervous about adding the soup after the biscuit mix. It turned out great though!
Wasn’t sure what to do with the ground beef I had. So glad I found this recipe!
It’s easy, delicious & I followed every step. I did use cream of mushroom soup because that’s what was on hand. Boyfriend loved it too! Would make again, thanks!
can this be made in a crockpot?
Hey There! I haven’t tested it in a crock pot, but I do think the moisture would affect how the cheddar bay biscuit mix browns on top. Hope you enjoy this as much as we do! ~Jennifer
Why do you add the soup over the biscuit mix instead of putting the soup over the veggies and then the biscuit mix last?
Hey There – Through testing, this is the recipe we like the best, but there are lots of adaptations, substitutions, and other options. Hope you enjoy 🙂
