This hamburger pie will remind you of growing up and eating dinner with your family. That is, if your parents were Rocky Balboa and Giada De Laurentiis.
A seasoned beef and green bean filling sits under a blanket of creamy mashed potatoes and melted cheese. It’s comfort food that fills the whole house with aroma and fills your family with a hearty, no-nonsense dinner. A few steps, one casserole dish, and you’ll be crushing a plate of hamburger pie.
Ingredients
blank
1 1/4 lb. lean ground beef (80/20 or 90/10 both work)
1 1/2 lb. fresh mashed potatoes (or one tub of your favorite packaged mashed potatoes)
- 3/4 cup Vidalia onion, diced with a sharp, clean kitchen knife
2 cans (or 2 1/2 cups) green beans, drained
1 can condensed tomato soup
2–3 oz. cheese of choice (Colby Jack or pepper jack are my go-to picks)
2–3 Tbsp. your favorite carnivore seasoning blend
Directions
blank
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 7x11-inch casserole dish and set it aside.
- Dice your Vidalia onion into small, even pieces. A clean, sharp knife helps you get consistent cuts that cook at the same rate, so no piece ends up raw or burnt.
Brown the ground beef and diced onions together in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season with carnivore seasoning as the meat cooks, giving it a good shake two to three times so the flavor builds into the beef.
Drain any excess grease from the skillet. Stir in the green beans and condensed tomato soup until the mixture combines.
Pour the beef mixture into your greased casserole dish and spread it into an even layer.
Spoon mashed potatoes over the top. Use the back of the spoon to flatten them into a smooth layer that covers the filling completely. This seal is what keeps the steam inside and makes the hamburger pie filling tender.
Top with an even layer of shredded cheese.
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes. The cheese will melt and start to brown around the edges. Let the hamburger pie cool for five to 10 minutes before slicing so the layers hold together on the plate.
Pour another glass of bourbon. You’ve earned it.
