If you are in need of a quick and tasty family meal look no further, my bacon cheeseburger pie is sure to be a hit!
A little bit of a twist on my ever so popular taco pie , this bacon cheeseburger pie is simply put… scrumptious!! It really doesn’t take long to prepare and I bet the family can’t wait to dig in! Simple ingredients make up this recipe and I promise anyone can make it. Serves 6, 295 calories, per serving, 8PP if following WW.
Ingredients used
- Pillsbury crescent rolls
- Ground beef
- Ketchup
- Mustard
- Panko crumbs
- Shredded cheese
- Bacon
When using the crescent rolls as the dough you will need to play around with it a little to get it to cover the whole pie dish, break off pieces and add them to any open seems.
If you can’t find the crescent rolls you can use the Pillsbury pizza crust dough, it is a bigger pack so you might want to weigh it out if you want the nutritional info to be the same.
Any pie crust or dough will work for this recipe though, you could even make your own.
You can use sugar-free ketchup if you are wanting to keep the sugar down. I like using regular yellow mustard but dijon mustard will be just as tasty.
The panko crumbs are a great addition but if you only have regular breadcrumbs in the pantry they will work just as well.
I like using a 3 cheese blend of shredded cheese, feel free to use any kind of shredded cheese with this recipe, you really can’t go wrong with cheese.
I have had some followers tell me they add diced pickles on top which I think is a wonderful addition if you love pickles.
Cut the pie into 6 equal servings.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an air-tight container for 2-3 days, honestly, the leftovers are just as good as the day it is made. To reheat from the fridge I usually pop it in the oven at 350F for 15 minutes or even the air fryer.
You can freeze this dish, to re-heat from frozen, let dethaw then bake in the oven at 350F for about 20 minutes.
You can make this dish up and freeze it before baking if you like to keep oven-ready meals in your freezer.
Bacon cheeseburger pie
Ingredients
- 1 package pillsbury reduced fat crescent rolls
- 1 lb cooked extra lean ground beef
- 2 Tbsp ketchup
- 2 Tbsp mustard I used honey Dijon
- 1/4 cup panko crumbs
- 2/3 cup reduced-fat shredded grated cheese I use a 3 cheese blend
- 4 slices bacon cooked (I use Oscar Mayer center cut, 2 slices
Instructions
- Brown ground beef in a pan on stove top and drain. Cook bacon and drain.
- Preheat oven to 350F, spray a 8 inch pie dish.
- Open your crescent rolls and spread them out in your pie dish to form a pie shell, this will involve a little trimming, doesn't have to be perfect just as long as the whole dish is covered.
- Bake dough in oven for 5 minutes and remove, this will prevent middle not cooking all the way through.
- In a bowl mix your cooked ground beef, ketchup, mustard, panko crumbs, 1/3 cup cheese (leave other 1/3 aside) and 2 slices of crumbled cooked bacon (leave other 2 slices aside)
- Pour your beef mixture into your dough shell, it might of puffed up a bit while in oven and that's ok.
- Top with remaining cheese and crumbled up bacon, bake in oven another 8-10 minutes, checking often to be sure not to burn dough.
- Cut into 6 slices and serve. 8 personal points and freestyle SP on all 3 MyWW programs or 7 points plus (old program)

I made the bacon cheeseburger pie, I liked it husband thought it was to dry. He’s my tester for recipes cause he is not following a program but he has diabets & is loosing in his own way & I’ve lost 40 pounds so we are both eating healthier
Glad you enjoyed the pie, I can see where he is coming from on the dryness, we all have different taste buds.. maybe he can add some extra ketchup/mustard to his, or top with some juicy tomatoes 🙂
After reading your comment, I just added an egg to the mixture and it was perfection.
I used this awesome recipe as a start. I decided to use a can of diced tomatoes with green chillies, diced up dill pickles and I had a pie crust that I needed to use up so did that (prebaked) instead of the crescent rolls. I used Colby jack, pepper jack and sharp cheddar. My husband is looking forward to eating dinner..did not do the weight watcher directions bc I just got out of the hospital and need the calories.
Thanks for sharing Crystal 🙂

I made this today for myself and my husband and we were both over the moon! It is so good!! It was simple and quick to put together. I paired it with broccoli for a side dish. I’m planning to serve it again next weekend when I have the grands over. I feel like I found a treasure trove in your blog and I can’t thank you enough for sharing. I know you put a lot of time and effort into these recipes and it really shines through. Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much Coletta your words truly mean so much to me 🙂 I am so happy you and your husband enjoyed the cheeseburger pie, it is one of my favorites for sure, I hope the grand kids enjoy it too 🙂

Thanks for all of your hard work that you put into your recipe development. I am sure that my 7 year old grand daughter will love this,
You are very welcome, I sure hope she does love it 🙂
I made this recipe last night for my family, everyone loved it! I made lifetime with the help of your recipes, and I wanted to say, THANK YOU so much for all your hard work.
Hi Jean, woohoo that is awesome, congrats on lifetime! So glad everyone enjoyed the pie 🙂
Would this work using two point dough?
All I can suggest is to give it a try, it should but I have not tried it, please let me know if you do
Could you add pizza sauce so it would not be so dry?
Sure, I don’t see why not 🙂
Could yoinuse turkey bacon?
Yes sure if you prefer it 🙂
Do you know what the points value would
Be if I used 99% ground turkey? Thanks – looking forward to making this!
Hi Daria, I only know the points for how I made it, I think the ground beef is 15SP if that helps
What would the points be with Freestyle if you used ground chicken instead?
Hi Whitney, I’m not too sure as I only have the points for how I made the recipe, I think the beef is equal to 15SP if that helps
Could I use a regular pie crust and adjust the points? I don’t have crescent rolls.
Yes absolutely 🙂
The level of WOW this dish has is just off the charts! It seems subtle, and you expect it to be good, but it’s a knock out! Thank you!!!!!!
I’ll take WOW 🙂 so glad you enjoyed it Shannon
Bacon Cheeseburger Pie for dinner, my 3rd Drizzle Me Skinny recipe today. Made this with turkey since that’s what I had in the freezer. Delicious as usual. Thanks for all your WW recipes.
Carolyn
You are very welcome, so glad you are enjoying everything 🙂
I was wondering where you buy weight watchers cheese in Toronto?
Hi Tammy, this was a really old recipe and I use to pick up WW cheese in the States when I crossed over, I think they since discontinued it, any reduced fat cheese is fine
I am going to try bacon bits. And do you think I could mix a can of diced tomato to this?
Hi Lauren, yes I think that will work well, it might be a little more “liquidy” but overall should work out well
Made this tonight. Delicious and filling!! Used some summer sausage deli meat instead of bacon. Family loved it, 2 y.o. 4 y.o. and my husband (who is the pickiest eater)
Yay! I love when picky kids approve, I have one so I know how huge that is 😉 so glad you all enjoyed it 🙂
Have you freezed this?
Yes, it freezes well 🙂
This was so good. I cut up my leftovers and put it on top of my big mac salad. was delish! Thank you for all the wonderful recipes!
You are very welcome, so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Just made the pie . My husband and I almost lost our mind at how good it was . Will definitely be making it again. Thank you so much for your recipes and inspiration.
Awesome, so glad you both enjoyed it 🙂
Can you make this crust less?
Hmmm, I have never tried.. I imagine you could but it might be a bit tricky to serve

My entire family LOVES this recipe! Truth be told we love all of your recipes. But I do have a question…did anyone else put this in the recipe builder and come up with 9pts? And I used regular mustard and no-sugar added ketchup.
Hi Laura, I am so happy to hear you all are enjoying the recipes 🙂 did you use the reduced fat crescent rolls? Also the center-cut bacon? The cheese can vary in points as well depending on what brand you use and where you live.. I build everything in my WW app and can only go based on the ingredients I used
