Cheeseburger Pie

Any hamburger fans out there? How ’bout cheeseburger fans?? I’ve got the perfect dish for you! CHEESEBURGER PIE…

Some people (like my Husband) find savory pies un-natural. They don’t bother me though because I just lump them in with casserole-type dishes and I was raised on those. Despite my Husbands suspicious looks, I decided to have him try Cheeseburger Pie anyways. And well, wouldn’t you know it- he loved it! Plated it up with some french fries and he was one happy little camper.

I actually had never heard of Cheeseburger Pie until a year ago. My girlfriend had a birthday get-together for her Husband and made his favorite meal- Cheeseburger Pie. I was surprised that I liked it since I really don’t particularly enjoy ground beef, so I made a note of it and decided to make it for myself one day.

It probably took me 10 months before I actually got around to making it, mostly because I had to find a recipe that looked promising. Once I found one, I had my Dad make it for himself and my Mom to let me know how it was before I attempted it. He liked it so I gave it to go.

I liked it too. Maybe you should give it a go? Haha, that is of course if you like cheeseburgers and savory meat pies. Both of which are kind of essential for enjoying this dish.

Oh and by the way! This is one of only TWO remaining meat dishes that I will be sharing on this site. As I mentioned Saturday, Dave and I have decided to stop eating meat. Well, all animal products really. A big 180 from where we were at before. So I am no longer going to be making any new recipes featuring meat to share here, but I will post about the last two that I made before our diet change.

1 pie shell, frozen or homemade, unbaked
1 pound ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon steak seasoning or burger seasoning
¾ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ cup plain fine bread crumbs
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or a favorite gourmet mustard
2 tablespoons ketchup
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1½ cups shredded Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend or a Cheddar/American blend

Heat oven to 375°.
Brown the ground beef with onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, steak seasoning, salt, pepper, and bread crumbs. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl whisk eggs with the mustard, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir into the cooled ground beef mixture. Stir in about ½ cup of the cheese. Pack into the pie shell and bake for 30 minutes. Top with remaining shredded cheese and bake for 5 to 10 minutes longer, until cheese is melted and crust is nicely browned.

MEATBALL PARM -COOKED IN ONE PAN!!

Ingredients:

2 pounds ground beef, or equal parts beef, pork, veal which I use-when buying it, it’s labeled “meatloaf mix”

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (I used gluten free)
1/2 cup milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 large jar marinara sauce
2 cups grated mozzarella

Directions:

Mix
the meat with the breadcrumbs, milk, garlic, salt and pepper, and knead
the mixture together with you hands. Roll into heaping tablespoon-sized
rolls.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onions and cook for 1 minute. Add the meatballs between the
onions and brown for 1 minute.

Pour in the jar of marinara and shake the skillet gently to mix. Put on a lid and allow to simmer for 20 minutes.

Remove lid and sprinkle some cheese over each meatball. Put the lid back on until the cheese is melted.

Serve over pasta or on hero bread!

Stuffed Giant Shells

The other day my friend and I cooked dinner together for the boys. They almost starved to death because this recipe does take some time to prepare. At first we wanted to make canelloni, but we didn’t find the pasta at the grocery store we went too. Instead, we found jumbo pasta shells, and decided these would also be good to stuff with a creamy meat filling. These giant shells are stuffed with ground beef seasoned with onion, mushrooms, and sour cream, and then topped with tomatoes and a blend of cheeses.

My friends are moving back to Germany today, and I am sad they are leaving San Francisco, but wish them all the best during this exciting time for them! Next time I am in Germany, we will have to get together again to cook a German dish
