Cheeseburger Pie

When creating cheap and easy recipes one thing I’ve learned, the hard way, is to create the meals from foods that my family already loves.

It doesn’t work out to be a cheap meal if nobody likes it

and, it’s not that easy when I have to make something else that they do like.

Because everyone loves cheeseburgers in our house I thought that I would put my cheap and easy spin on them.

 

Instead of using hamburger buns for this recipe I thought that it would be a good idea to biscuits. It’s cheaper and it’s more filling. Which means the hamburger would go further in order to fill everyone’s bellies.

Spray the dish with a little cooking spray.

Chop the onion. Remember if you freeze the onion  for 15 minutes before cutting you’ll avoid tearing up.

You can use any kind of dill pickles. I had dill slices on hand so that’s what I used this time. I’ve also used dill relish and whole pickles.

Chop up your pickles. I really like pickles so I cut them in big chunks.

Once you’ve browned the ground beef add the onions.

Then add the ketchup and mustard.

Stir it up real good.

and then stir in your pickles.

Pour the mixture in your pie dish.

Top it with some cheese.

and then, finish it up by lining the top with the biscuits.

Now pop it in a 450 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.

Serve it on a bed of lettuce with some french fries on the side.

Enjoy!

What I paid for this meal: $4.71

Savings Tip:
Get a Rain Check!! When I found ground beef on sale for $1.88 a pound I knew that I wanted to stock up for that price. I was looking to purchase about 75 pounds, however there wasn’t 75 pounds in the meat case. I took what I could and left a few for other savvy shoppers. Since I picked up less than what I wanted I went to the front desk and asked for a Rain Check.

What is a rain check?
It’s a ticket, entitling a customer to purchase at a later date and for the same amount as the sale price for any item that is temporarily out of stock.

You can get a rain check for any item that is on sale and is out of stock. Most rain checks are good for 30 days. Sometimes I’ll go to the store on the last day of the sale in hopes that the items I want are out of stock. The purpose is to get a rain check and hope that a coupon for the item will come out before the rain check expires, which helps me save even more money.

 

Do you have any cheap and easy recipes 
that cost around $5.00 to prepare?
 

Bon Appetit on the Cheap!

    I don't know if my son our husband would eat it (they are funny about cooked pickles) but I would totally love this! I am pinning this one, girl! Thank you!

    I like quick and easy meals that offer leftovers. I rarely ever cook at home anymore now that my kids are grown but I made a resolution this year and have been doing better about home cooked meals if they are easy to prepare. This looks yummy, I'm going to certainly try it. Thanks for a great spin on cheeseburgers 🙂
