Hamburger Pie


One day, my friend Irene mentioned that she was making Hamburger Pie, so I asked her for the recipe.  It is so good and easily made with pantry ingredients.  I've made it more times than I can count.  Thanks, Irene! 


Hamburger Pie

1 lb. ground beef (85/15 or leaner)
1 1/3 cups instant mashed potato flakes
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 tbsp. dried minced onion
1/4 cup ketchup
1 cup milk
4 servings of prepared instant mashed potatoes
Shredded cheddar cheese
1 packet brown gravy mix

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix ground beef, instant mashed potato flakes, egg, salt,  pepper, dried minced onion, ketchup, and milk.  Pat into an ungreased pie plate.  Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes.  5 minutes before the meat mixture is done, prepare 4 servings of instant mashed potatoes according to package instructions.  Top pie with prepared mashed potatoes and sprinkle with cheese.  Bake 3-4 minutes or until cheese melts.  While cheese is melting, prepare the brown gravy mix according to package instructions.   Top each slice of pie with desired amount of gravy.


This recipe was shared with me by my friend Irene who received it from her friend Mary.

Air Fryer Dilled Salmon Patties


Want crispy, hot, savory salmon patties without the mess of pan frying with oil?  Use your air fryer!  

Onion not shown.

Air Fryer Dilled Salmon Patties

1 (14.75 oz.) can salmon
2 tbsp. butter
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs plus additional crumbs for coating
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. dried dill weed
1/2 tsp. dried mustard
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Drain salmon.  Discard bones and skin from salmon; flake meat.  In a 5 qt. saute pan or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat and cook onion in butter until tender but not brown.  Remove from heat.  Add 1/2 cup bread crumbs, beaten eggs, dill weed, dried mustard, salt, pepper, and flaked salmon; mix well.  Shape into 4 patties and place on a baking sheet.  Patties will be very loose.  If they start to fall apart, just reshape.  Add a generous amount of fine dry bread crumbs to a shallow bowl like a pie plate.  Coat patties on all sides and place back on the baking sheet.

Spray the bottom of your air fryer basket with oil to prevent the patties from sticking.  Place 2-4 patties (quantity depends on the diameter of your air fryer basket) in the basket and spray the tops with oil.  Set temperature to 400 degrees and air fry for 6-10 minutes until desired brownness. Turn patties, spray tops with oil, and air fry for 5-6 minutes more.  Serve with Lemon Sauce (recipe link below) for a mouth-watering main dish.
