Cheeseburger Pot Pie

Brandess's Note:

This was a real hit while I was on vacation looking for a hearty one pot wonder to satisfy several different age groups. I made one as directed below and another with blue cheese and cheddar. Even the kids loved the addition of the blue cheese. From Pillsbury.com: Who wants a bun when you can have a cheeseburger baked in a flaky pie crust?

This was very good and easy to make. I think I used more cheese than called for (didn't bother to measure) and it was great. Great comfort food.
