From Better Homes & Gardens Best Buffets Cookbook, Meredith Press, 1963, pg. 26. My husband brought home a couple of bags of cookbooks from the library book sale... I made this one and thought it was pretty tasty! Very similar to the hamburger, green bean, tomato soup with mashed potatoes recipes.
Ingredients:
1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb ground beef
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
1 (16 ounce) can cut green beans, drained (i used a 14.5 ounce can)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
3/4 cup onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fat (i used butter)
1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 cup shortening
1 slightly beaten egg
1/3 cup milk
Directions:
1. For Hamburger Pie: Cook onion in small amount of hot fat till tender but not brown. Add meat and seasonings; brown lightly. Add drained beans and soup; pour into a greased 1 1/2-quart casserole. Place in 350* oven while you prepare the onion biscuit topper.
2. Onion Biscuit Topper: Cook onion in hot fat till tender, but not brown. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; stir in celery seed. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in cooked onion.
3. Combine egg and milk; add all at once and stir till dough follows fork around bowl. Turn out on lightly floured surface and knead gently 1/2 minute. Roll 1/2 inch thick and cut with doughnut cutter. Place circles of doughnuts on BOILING HOT meat-vegetable mixture; center with a few doughnut holes ; bake in very hot oven (450*) 10 to 15 minutes or till biscuits are done. (Bake remaining biscuits on an ungreased baking sheet).
