For The Winter Festival of Pie this year (which happens tonight!) I’ve made not one but two Hamburger Pies. The original recipe called for Spam Pie, which sounded funnier but not as fun to eat perhaps. For each Hamburger Pie, I used two containers of Pillsbury Garlic Crescent rolls, a pound of ground beef (I split the difference health-wise and went with 85% fat free), a half a package of Kraft Colby & Monterey Jack cheese crumbles, and an eighth of a large white onion. One container of the Pillsbury Garlic Crescent rolls made the bottom and side crust, the other made the top layer after the contents were in. I browned the beef, let it cool a tad, mixed in the cheese crumbles and onion, and put it all into the crust. After the pie was all set, I stuck it in a 325 degree oven for a little more than 20 minutes.

I’ll post before and after pictures and reactions after the event this evening.
