Recipe for "hamburger-pie"

NAME

     HAMBURGER-PIE - A quick hamburger dish
     I got this recipe from Judy Halter who got it from her  sis-
     ter.

INGREDIENTS (serves 5)

     150 g     chopped onion
     150 g     chopped green pepper
     1/2 clove    garlic, crushed
     30 ml     vegetable oil
     800 g     hamburger
     100 ml    water
     5 ml      salt
     1 ml      pepper
     15 ml     Worcestershire sauce
     30 ml     flour
     1         egg, slightly beaten
     500 g     canned biscuits

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Saute the onion, green pepper and  garlic  in  the
               oil  until tender then add the beef and cook until
               brown all over.
          (2)  Dump out the grease and add about 100 ml of water.
               Add  the  worchestershire  sauce, salt, pepper and
               flour.  Simmer until the juice thickens.
          (3)  Separate the biscuits and brush the edges with the
               egg.   Put the biscuits against the sides and bot-
               tom of a pie plate so it is completely covered.
          (4)  Stir the rest of the egg into the meat mixture and
               then  spoon  the  meat into the pie shell.  If you
               wish you can garnish with a few tomato wedges.
          (5)  Bake in a pre-heated oven at 235 deg. C for  about
               8  to 10 minutes.  The biscuits should be slightly
               browned.

NOTES

     This gets its name because the biscuits around the edge puff
     up to look like the petals around the center of a sunflower.
     This is a great bachelor meal because you can come  in  from
     work  and make it without much effort, time or dish washing.
     You can play with different spices  to  change  the  flavor.
     Some  of  my friends like to put cheese on top before baking
     it.
     If you live outside North America, remember that  a  biscuit
     is a scone.

RATING

     cooking Precision: Approximate measurement OK.
