Souper Meat 'n' Potatoes Pie

Learned how to make this in Junior High Home Ec in the late 60's

Servings: 6 servings

1 lb lean ground beef or turkey

¼ cup chopped onions

¼ cup fine dry breadcrumbs

1 can cream of mushroom or chicken soup

1 egg, slightly beaten

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

¼ teaspoon salt

1 dash pepper

2 cups mashed potatoes

¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Thoroughly mix ½ cup of the soup, beef, onion, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley & seasonings.

Press firmly into a 9 inch pie plate.

Bake at 350 for 25 minutes; spoon off fat. (I usually dab with some paper towel if i get any excess, not much with lean beef though)

Frost the pie with mashed potatoes that have been mixed with the remaining soup. (i usually prepare the potatoes while the meat layer is cooking.)

Sprinkle with grated cheese and return to the oven for another 10 mins or until done.
