Down South, weeknight dinners were about comfort, simplicity, and using what you had in the pantry. This Southern-Style Cheeseburger Pie is one of those timeless meals that brings back the smell of sizzling beef and melting cheese in my mama’s kitchen. She’d brown the meat in her trusty cast-iron skillet while catching up with us kids, filling the house with mouthwatering aromas that meant one thing: dinner was about to be real good.
This dish is pure comfort—warm, cheesy, and deeply satisfying. It doesn’t take much to make, but it always delivers that “home-cooked with love” kind of feeling.
