IMPOSSIBLE CHILI PIE
This Impossible Chili Pie is a vintage Bisquick recipe that makes its own crust as it bakes. Easy, hearty, and perfect for a simple weeknight dinner or cozy family meal.
Why You Will Love This Impossible Chili Pie
If you love easy hearty dishes, you will love this one! It’s super versatile and comes together so well. The crust bakes right in and it is loaded with ground beef, beans, and seasonings. You can serve this with sour cream, salsa and extra cheese. Add a side salad, and you have a simple and delicious meal.
This Impossible Pie is Versatile
You can switch up the ground beef, for ground turkey or even ground chicken. You can also use black beans if you like. We love to mix up the cheese in this recipe and you can use whichever your family prefers. If your family doesn’t like onions or green peppers, simply leave them out.
What is Bisquick?
Bisquick is a baking mix, and it’s usually found in the baking aisle of a grocery store. Super versatile and many people make pancakes with it. If you don’t have it you can simply make your own. Here is the recipe!
Can I Make This In a Pie Plate?
Yes, you can also make this in a 10-inch pie plate if you like! We have made it both ways and it works great in either.

I made this for dinner tonight and we loved it! I made it exactly as written, complete with sliced bell pepper rings. Not only is this a beautiful dish, it is very diabetic friendly for my husband, who has to watch his carb intake. Will definitely be part of our meal rotation. Thanks so much for sharing this delicious recipe!
YAY!! We’re thrilled it was a hit for you! Thank you for the kind comment.
Good morning. Are both the Impossible Italian and the Impossible Chili pies suitable for freezing? Thanks
Yes, I believe they would freeze just fine.
Is this possible to adapt to a regular slow cooker maybe? Love it!
Sorry, I have not tried making this in a slow cooker. I guess you could just add all the ingredients and cook for several hours.
Love this pie! Do you think this possible to adapt to a slow cooker?
Sorry, I have not tried this in a slow cooker.
Chili beans, is that the same as kidney beans?
No, they are not the same thing but you could use kidney beans, too.
I finally tried this last week using kidney beans. Hubby says this is a keeper. He loved it!
Would be good using leftover chili!!
Put them in a skillet with a little butter and green peppers and saute’ them until caramelized. We like them this way.
My husband will love this, putting it on the back to school dinner rotation!
Is it spicy? My little one hates anything with a little heat.
It is not hot. You could leave out the hot sauce and cayenne and chili powder. Use mild salsa.
after seeing your pie , I don’t think so it is impossible pie 🙂 very delicious and mouthwatering pie…
This would be good with a cornbread topping instead of Bisquick, also! I think I will do this for supper tonight! Use up some peppers from the garden. Thank you!
Have in oven now; think would be good with cornbread too! Thanks for sharing!
