directions

  • Boil potatoes until they are soft when pierced with a fork; Drain and place in a large bowl.
  • Beat with a mixer on medium speed while adding milk; Do not overbeat as you want them mashed but still a little lumpy.
  • Add garlic powder, salt and pepper to the potatoes (I also add some butter).
  • Put half of the potatoes in the bottom of a greased casserole dish.
  • Combine meat with onions and evenly distribute on top of potatoes and sprinkle cheese on top of meat.
  • Spread the rest of the potatoes on top of the cheese.
  • Sprinkle all with bread crumbs to cover and dot with butter pats.
  • Bake at 350° for 30 minutes.

  1. Tasty! Easy to make. It was kind of bland for me though, so next time I'll add more butter/garlic to the potatoes. I also threw in a bag of frozen peas and that really made the dish pop more. But it was a fairly quick meal and overall enjoyable. Thanks!
     
  2. Pretty good, but I found it a bit bland for my own tastes. My husband loved it, however, so I'll make it again with some changes. Next time I'll add some more veggies and maybe try to make the meat a little saucy, more like a shepherd's pie, but as this was quick, easy, and tasty, it's worth it to tweak it to my tastes and make it again. Seems like it's really versatile, which makes it a good recipe, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. I had to make this pie after seeing Marsha D's photo. I knew it would be a hit in my family and it was! It is very simple to make and it is such a comfort meal. I took Marsha's suggestion and added a can of corn. The only thing I might do differently next time is to melt the butter and then pour it over the bread crumb topping so it distributes more evenly. Delicious! Thanks for sharing this keeper.
     
  4. What a delicious recipe! I did add a can of mixed vegetables and used a Tablespoon of minced garlic in place of the garlic powder when frying the hamburger meat. I drained the grease off and added back to pan and than added the onion and the can of vegetables. I also used whipping cream in place of the milk when making the potatoes. I used a Garlic and Herb breadcrumb topping too. We really enjoyed this pie. I made a beef gravy to have over the pie as my hubby just loves gravy oven his pies. :) Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! It was wonderful! and so easy to prepare.
     
  5. A very nice weekday meal. I made as listed with the exception of using less milk for the potatoes - more like a 1/4 cup, and instead of seasoned breadcrumbs, I used plain mixed with some fresh Parmesan. It was very easy to put together, and I'm sure I'll be making it again. Thanks!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live in Pa (outside of Philadelphia) and cooking, baking, cross-stitching and reading are my hobbies. <br /> <br />I collect cookbooks and cookie stamps/cutters and have a pretty big collection of both. I am also a fan of all things Amish, so I have quite a collection of things picked up in Reading, Lancaster and surrounding areas here in Pennsylvania. <br /> <br />I have 4 kids, who are the loves of my life and cooking for them and my husband keeps me on my toes! ;) <br /> <br />We bought an ice cream parlor in March 04 and it's been quite an experience! <br /> <br />Note: I love getting feedback on my recipes; all I ask is that you actually *make* them before reviewing them. <br /> <br />Also, if you make changes or substitutions, I'd love to see your suggestions and/or comments, but I'd appreciate no rating at all if it's not made as posted. Too many recipe reviews state margarine subbed for butter (if I list butter, it's REAL butter), different spices, low-fat ingredients, whole wheat flour instead of white, etc. The recipes will not work/taste as intended, so it's really not fair to rate them as such. <br /> <br />I'd also really appreciate it if you refrain from rating a recipe if you overcook or overbake it or it you don't refrigerate or store as listed. <br /> <br />I, of course, will adhere to the above when rating recipes, too! <br /> <br />Thanks and have a great day! <br /> <br />My Rating System: <br /> <br />***** A delicious recipe that was thoroughly enjoyed. It has excellent, detailed directions and is perfect as is. If a dish is especially easy, and I'm on the fence, I will give it 5* for ease even if it's very good instead of great. Something I will definitely make again. <br /> <br />**** Excellent recipe but confusing directions that I will make again in my own less confusing way OR Very good recipe that I'll probably make again if I find the time! <br /> <br />*** Good/OK recipe but probably not something I would make again OR Very Good recipe that doesn't have clear, detailed directions. <br /> <br />** Recipe was edible but not really enjoyed and will not be made again. Work involved not a good trade-off for the end result. <br /> <br />* Not edible and probably an error in the recipe. I feel that I pick recipes with ingredients our family likes, so in my opinion, there's an error somewhere. If there's a chance I made the error, I won't rate the recipe. ;) <br /> <br /><img src=http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/swapbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&amp;current=cookieswapparticip.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/cookieswapparticip.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/honey-pot-print-c10069558.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://s224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/?action=view&amp;current=09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd235/MidwestMaven/09holidayparticipationbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a></p>
