FAQs

Can I use a homemade pie crust instead of a refrigerated one?
Yes, you can use a homemade pie crust if you prefer! Just roll it out to fit your pie dish.

Can I make cheeseburger pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare it the night before, refrigerate it, and then bake it the next day. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if it’s cold from the fridge.

What if I don’t have Worcestershire sauce?
If you don’t have Worcestershire sauce, you can use soy sauce as a substitute, but adjust the salt accordingly since soy sauce is saltier.
