    I’ve made this twice already for myself, and have enjoyed it both times. I live alone, so it’s lunch or dinner for a week. I saw this again on my Facebook memories today and put me in the mood to make it again for myself. My sister and I have been making meals for my brother and his wife, since she is unable to do anything right now. Recovering from back surgery and removal of a mass on her spine in December. Now trying to fight cancer. I want to make this for him but not cook it. Could I put it all together, leave off the pickles and the cheese from the top and Freeze it for them. I would bring over some pickles and cheese to them to put on top when they back it. I concern that if a backed it before I gave it to them. It would be dried out after the reheated

    1. Hi Janet, I’m delighted you continue to enjoy this recipe. I’m sorry to hear of your family’s illness what a wonderful gesture to make a hot meal for them. I love your idea and while I haven’t tested it, I think you could do just as you said. When they’re ready to bake it, they could just place the toppings on and bake. Do send my very best wishes to your family.

  2. Made this tonight. Put in 9×13 and only added another 1/2 lb of burger and a couple extra strips of bacon. Once cooled I drizzled ranch dressing on top. It was very good. Also used bread and butter pickles instead of dill pickles. I should have added slightly more ketchup because it was a bit dry but that was because of the extra meat I put in.

  3. This recipe was in Parade in the 70’s or 80’s, but it used instant mashed potatoes as the base. I’ve been looking for this – I thought it was just called “hamburger pie”. Do you have the original recipe from Parade. Thanks so much!
