I love the Burger for a Bunch recipe. I've been making it for more years than I can remember (I'm well over 70). I first found it in a little Pillsbury Bake-off booklet that I picked up at the check-out counter at a Raley's grocery store in Sacramento. It was one of the big money winners that year. It's always a favorite for funerals and potlucks and everyone always wants the recipe. And it has always been a family favorite. I like to double the meat filling and once and a half the crust. Do you know where you first got the recipe? It would be fun to learn how it has got around.
It's so great to hear someone else who knows of the recipe! My mom grew up with her mom making it, so it's been in the family for ages. Next time I write my grandmother, I'll ask her where she first came across the recipe. Now I'm curious, too!
I really do love this recipe. The crust tastes so good, and I love the buttery potato flakes on top. There's nothing else like it!
Thanks for the comment!
My Mom made it years ago,45 to 50 years ago, I remember eating this as a very young girl, I LOVED IT !
She only made it once a year, I guess it cost to much money to make.I think she found the recipe on a box of instant potatoes...
I've been looking for this recipe for a long time, I'm going to make it for my family, Better late than never !
