Delicious Cheeseburger Pie
Everyone loves my cheeseburger pie. It's so easy, and it's great comfort food. What I am getting ready to tell you next might sound crazy in light of this decadent sounding recipe, but keep an open mind. In October of 2013, my family and I began a journey toward better long-term health. How did we do this? We have started eating mostly organic food. We use a service in the Charleston, South Carolina area called Healthy Home Foods. We get our meats, veggies, and fruits, and a few dry items from them. We still buy our cheese at the grocery store, but we use Horizon Dairy cheeses which are hormone-free and steroid-free. Now, I did say mostly organic, not all. It would be difficult to go totally organic in our society, but it's possible to cut out a lot of the GMOs, pesticides, and other junk we consume.
This just happens to be a recipe that started out with me following the back of a box when my husband and I got married. Over the years, I have made my own changes here and there. Here in the south, we take food to people who are sick, just moved in, just had a baby or just had a death in the family. This is one recipe that has fed many such families.
Keep in mind that while Bisquick is not organic, you can choose the gluten free formula that cuts out the genetically modified wheat. This is a huge help to people like me, who have become sensitive in some way to some genetically modified organisms, like wheat.
Whether you choose gluten free batter or original batter, this is a recipe that can be made with other batter mixes from the health food store with adjustments according to the box.
