My husband just loves this dish. I buy the pre-made frozen pie shells and pretty much prepare it per recipe subsituting whatever cheese I have on hand (cheddar/moterey jack combo works well). I don't care for the consistency of the diced pickle so I leave it out but I do use the juice per recipe. Sliced tomato baked on top is a great addition!

we LOVED this! I wasn't especially fond of the crust though. It seemed like it needed something softer. I am thinking next time of using crescent rolls as some other reviewers have suggested. Also, this tastes exactly like a white castle burger!

I thought this was pretty good. the crust is extremely easy, and flaky and good. The ground beef mixture kind of reminded me of making shepard's pie, but it really does kind of end up tasting like a cheeseburger without all the extra condiments (except pickles!). I though this was fun, easy, and good. Bf seemed to enjoy as well. Thanks for the recipe!

Everyone liked this (except the girl who wouldn't try it because she doesn't like ground beef browned, only shaped as in meatballs, etc. :? :D) & I even got a "You should make this again" from a fourteen year old BOY who doesn't give compliments at all. Wahw! :D I folllowed the crust recipe, pricking the crust with a fork. What I did: 1# extra lean beef; 1/4c minced onion; 1 clove garlic, minced; 1/2t salt ... after browning those, sprinkled 1T flour & cooked for a minute; then added 1/4c DILL RELISH (drained). 'Mixed together & added 1T worcestershire; 2T ketchup, 1t mustard; & 2T DILL RELISH juice. Since there wasn't much liquid, I added 2T heavy cream (not milk, which would've been fine, too). I added one cup shredded cheddar to the mix. Put it in the crust & topped with another cup shredded cheddar & 3T bacon crumbles. After baking, I think a little squeeze of mayo on top with shredded lettuce & diced tomato would be good, too. Time savers: I'd already browned the beef & had it frozen ready to use, which may be why the pan was pretty dry - extra lean meat & I'm very thorough with draining the fat. Dill relish - already had it & not a pickle in the house! They're just the right size & who wants to cut pickles that small!?! :) Nah me! Oh, this baby no way feeds eight unless you're having plenty on the side or an appetizer/salad. 'More like six. My boy kid mentioned above had a fourth of it himself. :D Next time I may add sesame seeds to the crust!

My family loves this! I get requests from 3 out of 4 of my children for this meal on a regular basis. Sometimes I make my own crust, which I thought would be daunting at first, but was suprisingly easy. Whether I make it or buy premade, I poke the bottom of the crust generously with a fork to prevent it from getting soggy. I also cover the edges of the crust in tin foil so it doesn't end up too brown. I like to decorate the top with ketchup and mustard, and my kids prefer when I use cheddar cheese. Great recipe!

This is so delicious. I used cheddar cheese instead of swiss in order to provide more resemblance between the dish and an actual cheeseburger. I also followed others' suggestions and put in some tomatoes. However, without these modifications, the pie is still very good. The ingredients all work together as if you were actually eating a cheeseburger.

I loved this! The pickle was not too strong for me, but then again, I like pickle. I used store bought crust. I made the following changes: added 1 Tbsp. of worcestershire sauce, added bacon crumbles, used a little garlic powder instead of minced garlic, and used sharp cheddar instead of Swiss cheese. We had it with ketchup on top. It was delicious! It only fed 4 in my house, not the 8 servings as listed. We had it with sweet corn and potato chips on the side.
