Good as Red Robin

I have made this recipe twice now, and it has been a huge hit both times, and the critcs were all three and under. I did add a few ingredients, which may have helped. I just thought about what I like on my "real" cheesburgers and used that for inspiration. For example, I added some grilled onions when cooking the beef and I poured in a little Wicersire sause too to add a little flavor to the beef. The pickles flavor was strong, which was great, since I like pickles. I would recommend this for anyone who is tired of making the same old hamburgers or anyone looking for a creative way to make ground beef. Enjoy.

Kids Cheeseburger Pie

My family loves it when I make this. We don't use the american cheese though, we use shredded chedder instead. My kids like it better.

Cheeseburger Pie

Easy to make, but my family would have rather had a real cheeseburger. Not sure if I would make again. The pickles in this recipe really make it different.
