This was really good and my kids loved it! No leftovers! I had to cook it longer than 20 minutes though, about 45 minutes. I recommend using a spatula to hold the pie in place while draining the grease.

Really Good! This tastes like a burger, but in meatloaf form. I was skeptical about the evaporated milk, but it makes the meat very moist and juicy. A winning recipe.
