Pre-Lunch Ruminations, or Hamburger Pie
Sep. 30th, 2010 11:45 amAt this time of day, my mind turns to food. So, let me tell you what I had for dinner last night. Having dealt with my pizza surplus, I decided to make Hamburger Pie.
This dish comes from my mom, who got it from Betty Crocker, and is a variant on the old British classic Shepherds Pie. The recipe is:
Brown 1 pound ground beef in a skillet. While this is browning, make 4 servings of instant mashed potatoes as per directions except omit the milk (or mash your own potatoes). When the potatoes are done, beat in one egg (optional).
Once the ground beef is browned, drain off the grease and pour into a 2 quart casserole dish. Add one regular can (drained) of cut green beans (not french-style) and one regular can tomato soup. Add a quarter teaspoon pepper, and an equal amount cajun seasoning. Stir, top with mashed potatoes. Top the potatoes with 3 slices American cheese or 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Bake for 30 minutes in 300 degree oven.
This serves 4, and is great for leftovers.
