Um, so I forgot...

In all the craziness of being back to work full time - and by full time, I don't mean my 8:45-5 usual hours, but pretty much it's been 8:15-5:30ish...busy time of year....anyways, I forgot about Wicked Cheap Wednesdays!  As I said in my post last night, we had cheeseburgers last night, so I don't want to post a "gross" Wicked Cheap Wednesday!  So, here's a family favorite (sorry no pic as I didn't actually make it last night...) - meatpie!

What you'll need:

• 1 lb hamburg
• 1/4 ground pork
• 1/2 white onion
• 3-4 potatoes, or if you use the boxed potatoes, about 6-8 servings of those
• 2 pie crusts

So it sounds pretty similar to the meat dressing, right?   Same taste, with the extra goodness of potatoes and pie crust!

Cook the hamburg with the ground pork and grated onion.  While this is cooking, cook 3-4 potatoes, or again make the good ole boxed ones; if using real potatoes, mash when cooked.  Combine the potatoes with the meat in a bowl.  Place a pie crust on the bottom of a pie dish, put in all of the meat/potatoes mixture, and cover with another pie crust.  Bake at 400 degrees for around 40 minutes.

So easy, so yum, and so cheap!

• 1 lb hamburg - $5.00
• 1/4 lb ground pork - well 1 lb is $3.00, so about 75 cents
• 3-4 potatoes - about $2.00 or boxed potatoes, the same
• one onion - $1.00
• 2 pie crusts - store brand, $2.00

Equals about  $10.75!  Of course throw in a salad if you have those items on tap and you're good to go!  Some of my family members like to put ketchup on top - I think it's gross, but to each their own!

This photo is one I found online that's pretty close, but I'll post a picture next time I make one...now I want it!  I'll have to settle for turkey pot pie tonight though:)  Thanks to kopiaste.org for the picture:)
