Hamburger Pie complete!

So of course as luck would have it, I did my third and final attempt and what happens? My phone breaks...so I don't have any pictures this week which is annoying. Hopefully when I go to ATT&T they can take my pictures off but as of right now the outlooks doesn't look great but, I'm going to try my best to be descriptive as to how the final result turned out.

So the ingredients we used this week were:

½ cup chopped yellow onion

1 and ½ lb ground beef

Salt

1 can cream corn

1 can condensed tomato soup

8 small/medium sized russet potatoes

½ cup 2% milk

1 egg

1 packet of brown gravy

and........

1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese!!!

As with last week I did the potatoes first but then half way through I ended up cooking up the burger and I think I have the timing pretty spot on which is nice. Since when I first made this it literally took me about an hour and half to make this meal! Partially it was being lazy and another part was I didn't realize how long it would take my stove to cook the potatoes so I think now I have found a good medium to work with.

I also wanted to mention that in the recipe, the person who posted it mentions nothing about draining the burger grease, I myself do drain it because, it's kind of gross to me but I suppose that you could keep it in there but I don't believe that draining the grease makes the taste any less tasty, just figured I'd put that out there.

Anyways, to the good part, about the cheese! I didn't add the shredded cheese on top until about 15 minutes before it was done, I figured that it would melt nicely and not burn, (and luckily I was right!) I think the cheese on top completes this meal, I used sharp cheddar but I think any cheese would really do, it all should add a nice crust like topping to your meal and cheese is always a ingredient in my book! After all this, I definitely think this will be a once or twice a month thing, even though I have perfected it, it still is a lot of work to peal the potatoes, cut them, wait for the water to boil, etc. Although, I am proud of myself for going outside my comfort zone and attempting something I've always wanted to attempt but never really had the drive to do until now. So until next time......
