What is cheeseburger pie?

Cheeseburger pie isn't really a pie, but it's not quite a quiche, either. It's actually very similar to a delicious breakfast casserole. Although variations of hamburger pie recipes have been around for years, hamburger pie got famous when a recipe for it was printed on the back of Bisquick boxes.

What's in burger sauce?

Burger sauce can take burger recipes from good to great, and this cheeseburger pie is no exception.

What can you use instead of buttermilk?
