Ok so this is actually a good recipe from the vintage recipe box I posted yesterday with all the gross ones. This is one of those "budget casseroles." The only thing I changed from this recipe are two things. First off I NEVER use that potatoe buds crap. Fucking gross. That's just as bad as that dry milk shit. I had made mashed potatoes with fresh chives the day before so I used those on top. The recipe also calls for potatoe buds mixed in the meat. Instead I used bread crumbs. The same amount as directed. I used fresh onion too. Not the dry onion the recipe calls for. I used half of a medium sized onion.
Hamburger Pie:
1 lb ground beef
8 oz potato buds instant puffs
1 egg
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tbs instant minced onion
1/4 c ketchup
1 c milk
1/2 c shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Heat oven to 350. Mix meat, 1 1/3 cups of the instant puffs (dry), the egg, salt, pepper, onion, ketchup and milk. Spread in ungreased pie pan, 9x1 1/2 in. Bake uncovered for 35-40 mins.
Prepare remaining instant puffs as directed on package for 4 servings. Top baked meat loaf with mashed potatoes; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 3-4 mins longer or until cheese melts.
