I used to make this often when my children were small and I worked full-time. It's easy to prepare the night before, then pop into the oven shortly before suppertime. We still like it—even as a cold snack!—Nancy C. Latham, Moses Lake, Washington
Ingredients:
filling:
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup instant potato flakes
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup hamburger relish
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
crust:
1/2 cup butter, divided
1/2 cup instant potato flakes, divided
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup mayonnaise
additional milk
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook beef, onion, salt and pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the potato flakes, egg, ketchup, relish and mustard; set aside.
2. For crust, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan. Stir in 1/4 cup potato flakes; set aside.
3. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cream of tartar and baking soda and remaining potato flakes. Cut in remaining butter; add milk and mayonnaise. Blend until a soft dough forms.
4. Divide in half. On a floured surface, roll one portion of dough into a 10-in. circle. Place in a 9-in. pie plate. Spread with meat filling; sprinkle with cheese. Roll out remaining dough and place on top of filling. Seal and flute edges. Brush with milk; sprinkle with reserved buttered potato mixture.
5. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into wedges to serve. Yield: 6-8 servings.
