Hamburger Mix Hamburger Pie

One more home-canned or frozen hamburger mix recipe…it short-cuts this old favorite.   No thawing, chopping onion, browning meat…just mix and heat the meat and bean mixture while you cook your potatoes.  I also used home-canned green beans, so this was a good garden meal.   I bake this right in my skillet; for company, you might want to bake it in a shallow casserole.    Hamburger Mix recipe HERE

**Or, prepare 4 servings packaged instant mashed potatoes according to package directions, except reserve the milk.  Add egg and season to taste.  Add just enough reserved milk so potatoes are stiff enough to hold shape.  Continue with recipe.
