Submitted by 2Bleu

"This is my mother-in-laws (Buddha's mom) recipe that well, lets just say 'I can't believe I ate almost the whole thing!' I devoured about a half of one the first time I tried it, it is so awesome! Buddha's mama is kind enough to allow me to post it here for all the world to 'make her famous' Thank you Momma Mac, We love you!"

What a great idea for a meal-in-one. This went together very easily for a quick supper. I cut the recipe in 1/2 and made only one pie as I was serving two. The only thing I omitted was the greenpepper. My breadcrumbs that I make home-made already were seasoned with S&P, basil and oregano and so I left those ingredients out of my meat mix. Great flavor! Made for PRMR~

This was the first time i ever tried making hamburger pie. It was the best one i have ever tasted. I wish i could give it more than 5 stars.

This is very good and quick to make! Mix, saute and bake. That's it! I only made one since my pie shell's so huge and used half of the oregano since I ran out of it. Even DH liked it. I can eat more than a serving here. Thank you, 2Bleu!

This can be very addictive! We loved it and will be making it again. I used ground round and italian bread crumbs with refrigerated pie crust. Instead of making two pies I used one pound of ground round with the remaining ingrredients and covered with the second pie crust. The cheese mixture melted nicely and was wonderful on top the meat mixture. This would be great for a family dinner or potluck. Thank you 2Bleu for sharing your mother in laws recipe.
