Cheeseburger Pie
My favorite cheap recipe from childhood.
You can thank my mom for this one. When I was growing up, one of my mom’s go-to weeknight recipes was cheeseburger pie. It's everything you love about cheeseburger stuffed into a delicious pie. It’s super easy, super filling and super affordable.
My mom is a big reason I got into cooking. She would always whip up incredible dinners in no time as she had to cook for 5 of us. This recipe is a good reminder of what cooking can be.
It’s not just about eating. It’s about connection, it’s about memories, it’s about tradition. I know not everyone finds the catharsis in cooking, but for me it's a chance to slow down and be present. A chance to reminisce on past memories. Just the smell of a cheeseburger pie takes me back to our old kitchen growing up.
That's such a special thing that we are able to experience. The beauty of nostalgia, the bittersweet feeling of those memories. Grateful they happened and sad that they’re over.
Now I create those memories with my own kids. Sharing recipes and techniques in the kitchen with some tunes on.
And this is the perfect recipe to make some memories.
