- Replies 0
If you’re a fan of the iconic Aussies meat pie and love a cheeseburger, then we have some good news for you.
Shoppers have discovered the “must-try” range of Coles’ frozen pies that hit the stores nationwide just a few months ago, featuring savoury flavours like the cheeseburger and Mexican burrito, and shoppers are obsessed.
TV and radio presenter, Alo Baker, posted a Tiktok video sorting through the range at his local store, asking followers if the products are any good.
And his post was flooded by messages from customers raving about the six new flavours.

“Cheeseburger pie is so good. It’s a must-try,” one shopper said.
“The spicy burrito one is bussing,” said another, while a third added: “Burrito ones are mint.”
One person likened the burger pie to a “cheeseburger spring roll.”
Despite the product hitting the frozen section at Coles a few months ago, some people had no idea about it and said they couldn’t wait to try them.
“Yum, I want to try these!!” one person wrote.
“Oooohhh, never seen these cool,” said another.

While many commenters praised the delicious treat, others weren’t the biggest fans, with one person saying that while the burrito flavour was “f***ing incredible”, the cheeseburger pie “just tastes like pickles”.
Watch his video below:
Some of the flavours, like spicy burrito and self-saucing tomato pies are the first of their kind in Australia. The range is locally made using 100 per cent Aussie beef with no added hormones. There are also two vegan-friendly options: the plant-based cheesy cauliflower and mushroom & lentil.
The spicy burrito pie however, is the most popular.
“We know our customers are increasingly excited about new innovative flavours, particularly when it comes to combining traditional products with a modern twist,” Coles’ category manager for dairy, frozen and convenience, Simon Mandelbaum, told news.com.au.
According to Mr Mandelbaum, frozen meat pies are one of the most popular items in the freezer aisle, with over 7500 tonnes sold in the last year alone.
“The fusion of flavours in the new range allows us to deliver new and exciting meals that our customers haven’t seen before at Coles, and with the addition of two vegan options in our Nature’s Kitchen range, we’re helping to make the range more accessible to all customers.”
The new pie range has been such a hit that Youtuber Greg from Greg’s Kitchen did a six-minute review of the cheeseburger pie. It has since been viewed more than 17,000 times.

And his reaction?
“Oh wow, oh yum. This actually does have a taste that resembles a cheeseburger flavour. It’s not exact, mate. It’s a meat pie, so it’s not going to be exact, is it but the flavour of this is really nice. Yummo,” he said while devouring the pie.

“The cheese in this has a sort of smokey flavour. I can sort of taste tomato sauce and mustard. “And you can hint at those pickled gherkins and the flavour altogether just tastes really nice.”
