Hamburger Pie

  • 1 lb. ground beef

  • Can add any other vegetables you like – green peppers, carrots, peas, potatoes, etc.

Brown ground beef with onion then drain. When all browned at 1/3 -1/2 cup flour. Sprinkle on top and toss until covered.

Add chicken bouillon to 2 cups water and dissolve. Pour in with meat. You may need to add more water. The flour will thicken the chicken broth. Add vegetables. Add salt and pepper.

Put in uncooked pie shell and add top pie shell. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes on a low rack.

Let sit for 10 minutes.

I have have, but I have heard you can bake the pie shell a little before adding the filling to not have it soggy.

Corn Dogs

1 1-pound package hot dogs

1 cup flour

3/4 cup cornmeal

2 teaspoons sugar

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg, slightly beaten

3/4 cup milk

2 teaspoons melted shortening or cooking oil

Milk if necessary

Cooking oil

Ketchup and mustard

  1. Pat hot dogs dry with paper towels. If desired insert a wooden skewer into the end of each dog; set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together egg, milk, and the 2 tablespoons cooking oil. Add egg mixture to the flour mixture; mix well. The batter will be thick, but if it seems too thick ad a little additional milk (about 2 Tablespoons)
  4. In a large skillet, heat approximately 3/4 inch cooking oil to 375 degrees. Dip hot dogs into batter coating all surfaces. Let any extra batter drip off.
  5. Fry turning after 5 seconds to prevent batter from sliding off. Fry for 3 minutes more. Turn again after 1 1/2 minutes. Serve with ketchup and mustard.
  6. Tip: The batter needs to be fairly thick to stay on the dog. After mixing transfer the batter to a shallow disk, such as a pie plate for easier dipping. Set the dish of batter in a bowl of ice to keep thick.
