Cheeseburger Pie Family Meal just $8.40 TOTAL!

So I have recently set out on trying to cook meals in a frugal fashion. I originally set out to try to make meals for under $5 but found that impossible, so I have set a goal of regularly trying to find foods that I can make that will be under $10 for the meal (btw, if you have recipes, send them in and I may use them)! I stumbled upon this recipe and found that I could make it for just $8.40 (see my receipt below), could have been cheaper if I didn’t have to buy pickles, or would have been a little more if I had to buy basic condiments!

This meal turned out delicious, in fact, I have made it 3 times and it is a big hit around my house now! It is really easy to prepare, and you can change up the recipe according to your tastes. I don’t typically like onion, but I put it in here, I just make sure to cook it with the meat so that it is more soft and doesn’t have that onion crunch to it!

Ingredients:
1 can crescent rolls
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup finely chopped onion or 1 teaspoon onion powder (I used white onion for this)
1/3 cup chopped dill pickle slices (I added extra!)
1 teaspoon mustard (I actually didn’t measure on mine, just guessed)
2 tablespoons ketchup (same, I just guessed)
2 tablespoons of Flour
2 tablespoons of dill pickle juice (I used 3)
2 tablespoons of milk
2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions:
Prehead oven to 375 degrees
Unroll crescent rolls and press into an 8″ pie pan
Cook ground beef in skilled until browned. Drain.
Stir in onion, chopped pickle, ketchup and mustard. (I cooked my onion with the meat)
Sprinkle with flour, add pickle juice and milk. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
Remove from heat and add 1 cup of cheese (I mixed it in real good).
Pour into the crust and bake for 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
Remove from oven, top with cheese and let stand until cheese melts.
Serve topped with extra ketchup, mustard and pickles to taste.

ENJOY!
