Grandmas Hamburger Pie With Cornbread Topping

Submitted by gertc96

"My grandma made this for us as kids all the time. She passed away two years ago and I recently came across a lot of her recipes and wanted to share them with the Zaar world. I hope you enjoy this as much as we did. It's a quick and easy one dish meal. I always fix up a salad to go with it. This recipe has lots of possibilities. You could add green beans and potatoes to the mixture as well.Addition: I have realized that I did leave out an ingredient in the topping. I found the recipe and looked and--sure enough, you need milk."

I tried this last night and was pleasantly surprised. The flavor was great for a recipe with a few ingredients most people will always have on hand. I would suggest baking it less than the suggested time though. The topping got a little harder than I would have liked. It's definitely a dish I would make again. The directions were perfect but I would tell you that you can't pour the topping on...it's too thick for that. But it was easy to spoon on and spread easil.

I made mine more like a cheeseburger pie. I added to my brown lean ground beef, one small can of tomato sauce, garlic powder, chili powder, Paprika, Worcestershire sauce, finely chopped red onion, minced fresh garlic, a can of mixed veggies. I topped with a bag of sharp cheddar and then topped with the cornbread batter. I used King Arthur Gluten-Free. Baked for 20 min.

This was delicious. I added garlic, chili powder, diced carrots and hot pepper sauce to the hamburger as we like spicy food. I replaced the wheat flour with gluten free flour for the corn bread topping and also added some shredded cheese to the mix.

This dish could have benefited from some extra garlic or worcestershire sauce or something, it was a little bit bland as written but overall it was still very good. I'll definitely make this again, just jazzed up to suit our tastes. Thanks for posting!

This was very good. My husband and I really enjoyed it! My son didn't like it so much, but he's 2. He's picky. As for the recipe, I followed it for the most part. I did add a dash of worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture for added flavor. I also used Jiffy mix cornbread. Thanks for sharing this recipe, I will make it again.
