Cheeseburger Pie

Cheeseburger Pie

I got this recipe from work.  I had to alter it some because we cook in mass quanities. The kids love it and ask for it.

1 1/2 to 2 lbs of hamburger or ground turkey*

1/2 c diced onion

1/2 c diced bell pepper 

1/3 tsp salt

1/4 tsp cumin

1/3 tsp garlic powder

2 tsp chili powder

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

2 tsp brown sugar

1 can pettie diced tomatoes with liquid**

Cheddar cheese, shredded

2 pie crusts

Brown ground beef/turkey with diced bell peppers and onion until hamburger is cooked and peppers and onions are tender.  Add seasonings and tomatoes (**I don't use the whole can, I use about 2/3 of the can).  Line pie pan with one pie crust and add meat.  Top with shredded cheese.  Place second pie crust on top.  Bake at 400 for 30-35 minutes or until internal temperature is 165.

*If using regular pie crust 1 1/2 lbs of hamburger is enough.  If using a deep dish pie use 2 lbs of hamburger.
