Ingredients

1 ready to use pie crust
1 lb ground beef
1/2 small onion, peeled and diced (optional)
1 brown gravy mix, prepaired
1/4 cup Bisquick baking mix
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cream cheese
1 cup mixed frozen vegetables
6 servings mashed potatoes
1 teaspoon Morton nature seasons seasoning blend
1 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
salt and pepper
butter or olive oil, to brush top
if you like it hot and spicy add a couple drops Tabasco sauce or chili pepper, to burger mix
shredded cheese, to top

Directions

1

Pre heat oven to 425*F if using frozen pie crust pre bake crust for 8-10 min while browning burger. Poke crust with fork several times prior to baking to prevent air bubbles.
2

Brown burger and onion with seasonings. Add gravy, sour cream, cream cheese, veggies and Bisquck mix then stir. Spoon into pastry in an 8 or 9 inch pie pan then top with mashed potatoes. Lightly brush potatoes with melted butter or olive oil mixed with a dash of dried parsley and dill weed.
3

Bake at 425*F for 20-25 min top with shredded cheese and bake 5 more minute.
4

Served with a salad and cresent rolls or a crusty bread.
5

Instant potatoes make this dish quick to make and herbed or sour cream and onion flavors add an extra zing.
6

I sometimes make up the burger mixture the night before along with the potatoes to save time.
7

I have also made this with a biscut crust, either with a bisquick mix or canned but be sure to pre bake the biscut crust or it will be undercooked and doughy.

For a vegatarian twist use soy based dairy free products and firm tofu crumbled along with a 4oz can of tomato paste. The tofu really needs the tomato for flavor.
