Instructions:

Southern Hamburger Pie

1 medium onion, chopped
1 pound ground chuck
Salt and pepper to taste
1 small can corn or green beans, drained (optional)
1 (9-inch) frozen pie shell
5 slices Velveeta cheese, about 4 to 5 ounces
1 can flaky biscuits

Begin thawing pie crust. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Cook ground beef and onion in a large skillet on medium heat, breaking up the beef with the back of a spoon, and cook until onions are soft. Drain excess fat and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add corn or green beans if using.

Put meat mixture into the pie shell and evenly distribute the cheese over the top.

Separate biscuits and layer in a circular pattern over the pie, covering it completely (you may not need all the biscuits). Cut a few small "steam slits" in the top and bake about 20 minutes until golden brown.

Serves 4.
