Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the hamburger and onions in oil.
- Add the cubed potatoes, sliced carrots, celery seed, salt, and water; simmer gently for 20 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
- Pour the mixture into a deep casserole dish.
- Cover with a short biscuit crust (according to package instructions) and bake in a hot oven at 400°F for about 25 minutes or until the crust is browned.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some garlic or Worcestershire sauce while browning the hamburger. If you’re short on time, pre-cooked or frozen mixed vegetables can substitute for fresh carrots and potatoes. You can also use ground turkey or chicken in place of hamburger for a lighter option. For a twist, add some cheese to the biscuit crust before baking.

Serve the Hamburger Steak Pie with a side of Smothered Corn for a delicious contrast in textures. A simple green salad or some Bacon Rolls can complement the hearty nature of the dish. Pair it with Soft Cornbread to soak up the savory juices. This meal is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a gathering with friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use pre-made biscuit dough for the crust?
Yes, pre-made biscuit dough can be used for convenience. Just roll it out to fit your casserole dish, ensuring it covers the filling completely for best results. Follow the baking instructions on the packaging for a perfectly baked crust.
What can I do if the filling is too watery?
If your filling seems too watery, you can thicken it by mixing in a slurry of cornstarch and water before pouring it into the casserole dish. Alternatively, let it simmer a bit longer to reduce the liquid before adding the crust.
How can I make this dish vegetarian?
To make a vegetarian version, substitute the hamburger with a plant-based ground meat alternative or cooked lentils. Increase the vegetables by adding mushrooms or bell peppers for additional flavor and texture, while keeping the rest of the recipe intact.
