Servings: persons

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

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.
8
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.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
