Filled to brim with ground meat and cheese, the cheeseburger pie is the next level of indulgence when it comes to mealtime. The cheeseburger pie is a great alternative to other pie-based meals including the [turkey or chicken pot pie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pukka-the-big-one), and is likely to be a hit with families that crave hearty, wholesome dishes during the winter months. It's made quite simply and only requires a [basic pie crust](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/higgidy-pies) to be made, which is then filled with pre-cooked beef, cheese and whatever veggies you like to add a signature touch. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cheeseburger Pie:** The cheeseburger pie presents an opportunity to disrupt traditional pie-based meals and expand the savory pie market. - **Hearty Comfort Foods:** The cheeseburger pie trend represents a growing demand for hearty comfort foods, creating opportunities for innovation in the comfort food industry. - **Pies for Main Course:** The popularity of cheeseburger pies signifies a shift towards pies as the main course, opening opportunities for the savory pie market to thrive. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The trend presents an opportunity for food and beverage companies to innovate and expand their product lines to include savory pies as a unique, hearty meal option. - **Frozen Foods:** With the cheeseburger pie being a simple and popular recipe, the frozen food industry can take advantage by offering pre-made, frozen versions as a convenient meal option for busy families. - **Baking Supplies:** As cheeseburger pies require a basic pie crust, this trend presents an opportunity for baking supply companies to market their products to a new demographic interested in savory pies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Handheld Beef Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-hand-pies.md) - [Fast-Food Bacon Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bacon-potato-pie.md) - [Heavily-Topped Burger Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunt-brothers-pizza-cheeseburger-pizza.md) - [Seasonal Summertime Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seasonal-pies.md) - [Sealed Deep Dish Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-pie-pizzas.md) - [Meat Pie-Packed Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meat-pie-crust-pizza.md) - [Burger-Inspired Pizza Slices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeseburger-melt.md) - [Hybrid Pie-Like Pizza Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deep-dish-pizza-pies.md) - [Meaty Baked Pie Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pukka-pies-products.md)
