HAMBURGER-PIE(M) USENET Cookbook HAMBURGER-PIE(M) 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 Difficulty: easy. Time: 10 minutes preparation, 10 minutes cooking Precision: Approximate measurement OK. CONTRIBUTOR Pat Caudill Tektronix, Inc., Portland, Oregon, USA patc@tekcrl.TEK.COM
