This was so good! I made last weekend last minute and whole family enjoyed. Somehow the bottom shell was a little gooey & undercooked, didn't want to burn rest of pie though- will pre-cook crust 1st when making again. Also, next time I will omit the green bell peppers and perhaps add in some bacon bits instead. Kiddies just didn't like the pepper is all, but this will be a regular rotation meal in our household for sure! TY for posting.

5 delicious stars all the way for this one! After one bite , my husband said "keeper". This pie embodied 2 of his favorites. Cheeseburger and Onions! I knew there was no way he wouldn't like it! It's a bit time consuming , but nothing horrible. I cut the recipe in half , easy to do! The only thing that's not in my pie , that is in the recipe is green pepper. We can't eat them. Other than that , everything is per the recipe. Simple ingredients , wonderful taste! This will definitely be made in our home again and again! Thank you for posting this KITTENCAL!
