Easily be the most popular pie for kids

NANCY CHAPMAN from Yorba Linda, CA

This can easily be the most popular pie for the youngest crowd. It takes a while to make but the feedback is wonderful. The dill pickle juice really gives the pie a zesty taste.
Good as Red Robin

Candace Huss from VA

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.
Easy and Fun to Eat!

CHERYL PETERSEN from ELBOW LAKE, MN

This was such a simple recipe. This is definitely a meal that the kids love - and the pickles add a nice touch.

Emily Polzine from DAWSON, MN

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.

It was ok

Jason VanDerveer from Lake of the Ozarks, MO

My girlfriend and I made this last night, it was defiantly a good recipe but if we do make it again we'll have to take out the pickles. We both found that they were over-powering.

My husband was pleasantly surprised with the new recipe and thinks it will be a great substitute when it is too cold to grill! Next time, I will leave out the pickles since my youngest "thinks" he doesn't like them.

My husband loved this pie for supper last night it was a good change. I will have to leave the pickles out if I make this for the rest of the family because they do not like them. I will probly serve them on the side.

Daryl Smith from CHICAGO, IL

Forget the kids (my 2 are grown up & have their own children & Live in other states). I made this for my husband & myself & froze what was left over & it was even better reheated. Keep giving us these kinds of recipes. We loved it both times we ate it. It was easy to make in the oven or on the bbq which is where we do all the cooking for the summer. I'll make it all year since it is so easy.
awesome!

T ROACH from PRESCOTT VALLEY, AZ

I made this with my boyfriends 7 yr old. She loved it & we impressed him as well. We added onions to the hamburger. Thanks for the kudos!
Delicious!

POLLYANNA TALISON from Detroit, MI

This was very, very good! My son nearly devoured the whole thing...and he hates pickles! I think next time I'll cut back on the flour a little, but overall, it was fantastic!

daphne farrell from Jacksonville, FL

This was the easiet and quickest meal, my kids loved it, recommend to any mom on the go!!
great for toddlers

Krista Davidson from APO, AE

My 16-month old picky eater loved this dish. And it's a great way to get calcium for a kid who doesn't like milk. We used cheddar cheese, and it's even better with ketchup!
My son loved it!!

Mari from bloomingdale, il

My son is such a picky eater, he took one bite and loved it, before he even finished what was on his plate went back for seconds... I will definitely make this again. Next time I will use less pickles in the recipe as that is the only reason i didnt give it 5 stars.

Kids Cheeseburger Pie

LINDA GAFFNEY from MARION, OH

All of my kids are grown and out of the house except for my youngest son is still at home. I made this pie because I wanted to do something differant with hamburger. It was so good and so esay to make. We will be having it more often. There was only 2 slices left and they were gone the next day,My big kids liked it(My Husband and my 23 year old son.)
Great Recipe.

Linda Randles from NORTH CANTON, OH

Made this for a quick dinner and it was great and so easy to make. With a salad you have your meal and it was quick and easy. You can even add stuff to the pie to change the flavor around. This recipe is a keeper.

Faith Bennewate from MINOOKA, IL

Had the baseball team over and thought I would try this. Much easier to prepare and serve. The kids loved it. I used the chips-on-top idea and it worked out great!!!
A Family Favorite

Sarah Morrow from Asheville, NC

This recipe is quick, easy, and the kids actually ate it all! I did cut down on the pickles from a 1/3 cup to 1/4 cup since the kids don't like anything green. Overall, definitely a keeper!
Kid Cheeseburger Pie

Sally Evans from Edwards, CA

My family loves this recipe. I use soy ground beef because we are vegetarians, but it still tastes great. I also use American cheese instead of cheddar. The best part of this recipe--it tastes just as good the next day in my lunch as it did the night before as dinner.
good and a hit with all

Amy Meyer from LAS VEGAS, NV

I like this recipe and make it with ground turkey instead, but it works well with it. Not hard to make and any leftovers are also good,too!
