I really try to not editorialize the recipes I find- but there are things that make me go WTF/ simple dog head tilt. There are a lot in this Betty Crocker collection & of course I will have to post many of them. Because I am evil like that.
Let us just say the early 70s were not a good time for food & food photography. I blame the drugs of the late 1960s. Of which there was a lot of. (I’m still not sure what the explanation for some of the food choices of the 1950s were…)

HAMBURGER PIE

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon instant minced onion
• Potato Buds instant puffs (instant potatoes)- enough for 8 servings
• ¼ cup catsup
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar Cheese (2 oz)
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Heat oven to 350°. Mix meat, 1 1/3 cups of the instant puffs (dry), the egg, salt, pepper, catsup, onion and milk. Spread into ungreased pie pan, 9×1½ inches. Bake uncovered 35 to 40 minutes.

Prepare remaining instant puffs as directed on package for 4 servings. Top baked meat loaf with mashed potatoes, sprinkle with cheese. Bake 3 to 4 minutes longer or until cheese melts.
