HAMBURGER PETAL PIE
HAMBURGER-PIE - A quick hamburger dish
I got this recipe from Judy Halter who got it from her sis-
ter.
INGREDIENTS (serves 5)
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 clove garlic, crushed
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/2 lb hamburger
1/3 cup water
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 Tbsp worchestershire sauce
2 Tbsp flour
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 lb canned biscuits
PROCEDURE
(1) Saut' the onion, green pepper and garlic in the
oil until tender then add the beef and cook until
brown all over.
(2) Dump out the grease and add about 1/3 cup of
water. Add the worchestershire sauce, salt,
pepper and flour. Simmer until the juice thick-
ens.
(3) Separate the biscuits and brush the edges with the
egg. Put the biscuits against the sides and bot-
tom of a pie plate so it is completely covered.
(4) Stir the rest of the egg into the meat mixture and
then spoon the meat into the pie shell. If you
wish you can garnish with a few tomato wedges.
(5) Bake in a pre-heated oven at 450 deg. F for about
8 to 10 minutes. The biscuits should be slightly
browned.
NOTES
This gets its name because the biscuits around the edge puff
up to look like the petals around the center of a sunflower.
This is a great bachelor meal because you can come in from
work and make it without much effort, time or dish washing.
You can play with different spices to change the flavor.
Some of my friends like to put cheese on top before baking
it.
If you live outside North America, remember that a biscuit
is a scone.
RATING
