Hamburger Pie

I made Hamburger Pie this week---the first layer is a pie crust. Then I cooked a small onion with ground beef, drained the grease and poured it on to the crust--

Pie Crust:

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. of salt
1/3 cup plus one tbsp. shortening (I used butter)
2-3 tbsp. of cold water


While I was doing the above, I was also boiling potatoes---after they were done, I made mashed potatoes and spread it over the top of the hamburger
I covered it all with foil and baked through. I made sure the bottom crust was cooked and golden. I could see it though the glass. I put the temp at 375, for about 45 minutes--then I topped it with shredded cheese and let it cook another 15 minutes un covered. I always eye ball my food--so the times are not always exact but pretty close. All ovens are different so I am sure you know what I mean.

This is the pie all done--


Enjoy!!
