Bacon Cheeseburger Potato Pie

Recipe #90001 | 1 hour | 15 min prep | SERVES 6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Amanda Beth

My husband and father-in-law love this! It's a bit time-consuming, but worth the spectacular results. Truly a handsome dish! From one of those Pillsbury mini-magazine things you buy at the supermarket. Please note that you can use leftover mashed potatoes as well, or make homemade if you really hate instant!

    excellent!! the topping was just the right amount of crunchy and the crust held to together. Only change i made is that I cooked the meat for 10 minutes before i put it in the oven just to be sure it cooked

    This was pretty good. I was a little surprised when I pulled the "crust" out of the oven and it had shrunken down a bunch...but it still tasted great once it was finished. My kids especially really loved it! I agree with people who are saying next time they will use real mashed potatoes and more bacon. I will be doing the same. Thanks for a great recipe!

    If this was up to my DS's this would be more than a 5*, certainly kid friendly, and they were so glad to be eating something w/o surprises in it. **sigh**, poor children. I did bake 10 min. longer the first time in the oven, meat was still very red, only browned on the crust. I didn't add anything extra to this and it was a sucess. When mixing the ground beef I did mix it in a zipper food storage baggie to ease in cleanup. Great Recipe Amanda!

    This was very yummy and liked by the family. The recipe reads like it's a lot of work, but in reality it is very quick. Next time I will make it with real mashed potatoes and more bacon!
