One of our family’s favorite dinners is my mom’s good old Hamburger Pie — topped with mashed potatoes and cheese. Since we are watching our carbs, I needed to create a low-carb version in order to satisfy the craving! I used the same ingredients for the “pie” portion, but did a faux-potato topping. Surprisingly, it was very good and satisfying! Yay!
- 1 lb hamburger
- 1/4 c chopped onion
- 1 10 oz can fine-chopped tomatoes
- 1 8 oz can French cut green beans
- 1 tsp crushed garlic (or garlic powder)
- salt & pepper to taste
Brown the hamburger; add the onion and rest of ingredients, mix well. Simmer on low heat for 20-30 minutes. Pour meat mixture into pie plate or casserole dish.
Preheat oven to 350.
Topping:
- 1/2 c mayonnaise
- 1/4 c sour cream
- 1/4 c cream
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (I used 4 cheese blend)
- 5-7 shakes of Tabasco
- pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients together well. Pour evenly over the meat mixture.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until top is lightly golden-brown.
Dig in and mangia bene!
P.S. Dave loved this, so next time I am doubling the recipe!
