Tip
For a make-ahead cheeseburger pie, cook the filling, load it into a pie plate, spread the batter over it and cover it with plastic wrap. Refrigerate it for up to 24 hours, then bake according to the instructions. Depending on how cold the pie is, it may require 5 to 10 more minutes in the oven.
