Main Entree:

What do you do with hamburger and a pie crust?

Make hamburger pie, of course. I love cooking with hamburger. It’s fast, nutritious and delicious! This version happens to be Italian. Mexican seasonings could easily be swapped for another delicious dish.

Paired up with a tossed salad and a slice of crusty bread, this meal is a snap!
