Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using ground chuck instead of regular ground beef. You can substitute half of the cottage cheese with ricotta for a creamier texture. If you prefer a veggie twist, add sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers to the beef mixture. Additionally, make sure to roll the dough evenly to prevent uneven baking. This pie can be made ahead and frozen before baking.
Serving Suggestions
This Hamburger-Onion Pie is delicious when served warm, accompanied by a simple green salad for a balanced meal. You can also pair it with garlic bread or roasted vegetables for added nutrition. For a hearty dinner, consider serving it alongside a bowl of Marge Birsky'S Hamburger Soup for a comforting combo.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes until heated through. You can also microwave individual servings for about 1-2 minutes, but be cautious as this may make the crust less crispy.
