I'm not a big cook but I can easily whip this up for my family. Being a working mother, I need something fast and easy to make. I call it Hamburger Pie. Even my picky kids eat this right up. If you are creative, there are a lot of different things to doctor it up as well.

For a bit more flavor I added lemon peper to the beef mixture and used roasted garlic flavored mashed potatos. Really liked this dish and will serve it at a family gathering again. I also used a 9inch square dish instead of the pie pan. That way it's not heeping in the middle.

Fabulous Dish! The whole family just loved this dish! Very easy to make and it was very filling as well. I will definitely be making this one again! Thank you!

A Winner! Easy throw-together dinner. I was impressed by how moist it turned out and with more flavor than I expected. I did add garlic salt in lieu of regular salt. Will definitely add to my menu!

Hmmmmmmm....Well I always like creating.......and odd stuff too. Doing now, hamburger, diced potatoes, big onion sliced up, or diced up. Added a few seasonings, a can of cream of asparagus soup....even threw a little bread crumbs in with it. And mays well add some noodles with it, as I am doing now. I could also add some green pepper to. BUT... so yummy for a fast quick meal. Add a salad, or garlic bread and make a complete dinner.

Good standby. I have a family of five and everyone liked it! It was good and pretty easy. Glorified meat loaf... I used 1/8 c. Karo Syrup instead of egg because my son is allergic. Drain dish of grease prior to spreading the potatoes. Good and will make again.
