I followed Rhiannon's review(first review if you click the most helpful) to a certain degree. I used a pie crust. Cooked ground beef with onion and garlic. Added fresh tomatoes, 6 dill stackers-chopped, worcheshir(sp?) sauce and Cheddar cheese(1 cup and 1/2) and cooked on stove. Added beef combo to pie crust. Topped with Cheddar cheese. Yummy! I am from the Midwest(St. Louis) and it reminded me of a White Castle hamburger. The dill pickle taste was the key to the White Castle taste. Yum, Yum!

There wasn't anything "quick" about this and I really didn't care for the taste. My husband and I each had a piece and probably won't finish the rest.

I also used Cheddar instead of Swiss cheese. I did not use the pickle juice, and instead just doubled the milk. I used about 2 and a half cloves of garlic as well. For the crust, I used a roll of crescent rolls and pressed it out into the pie pan. My husband absolutely loves this recipe and wants me to make it whenever his friends come over. I also gave the recipe to my sister and her kids and husband can't get enough!

Wow This was really good. After reading other reviews, I decided to go with a premade pastry shell and old Cheddar cheese instead of Swiss. I wasn't sure if I should add the pickle juice but boy am I glad I did!

YUM!! Pickles and all, it was great!! Actually, I think it wouldn't be nearly as good without the pickles as weird as they sound! I made 2 minor changes. I used Cheddar cheese, not Swiss, which I cut into tiny cubes, for more flavor. I used about 1 1/2 cups in the pie instead of 1 cup, putting the last 1/2 cup on at the end as directed. (This I did shred.) The second thing I modified was I added a bit of garlic granuals to crust. So good. It's worth the extra effort to make it from scratch. My husband LOVED it. He said the only change he'd make would be to leave the hamburger in bigger chunkd, and maybe even BBQ them then break them up. Sounds like a good idea but even if you made as is (if you like Swiss) it would be a 5 star!

WOW! I loved it. Thank you for such a good tasting recipe. I did make some modifications, based on what I had on hand. I used about a 1/2 lb hamburger, whole wheat flour, a pre-made pie crust (Best Yet brand), & 6 slices of American cheese (3 mixed in & 3 on top). People's reviews really caused me to be leery of adding the chopped pickles, so I put them on 1 half of the pie. And I'm so glad I decided to use them because I loved it with the pickles. I thought the pie had great flavor. I do think I put a little too much cheese in, though. I made this late Saturday night and I couldn't wait to get home from church on Sunday to have it for lunch! Thank you again :)

This was a clever idea, but came out very dry. Maybe if I make it again, I'll add a can of cream of chicken soup, or perhaps ketchup and mustard as another user suggested.

Pretty good, but the crust stuck to the pan, so next time I'll use a pre-made one, and use Cheddar instead of Swiss.

I made the meal just as instructed. My kids (6 & 8) really didn't like it. I think it was missing something... I may try to make it again and add the ingredients other posters have suggested.

A little bland but basically a good receipe. Next time I will jazz it up with some spices, etc. Nice receipe to have on hand for quick suppers.

I loved it! I did change a couple of things after reading the reviews. I did add ketchup and mustard on top of the meat filling before the final cheese topping. I also used cheddar cheese instead of Swiss. I did not care for the crust as much, so next time I will use an already pie crust from the grocery store's refrigerated section. The pickles were yummy and I will probably add more next time, I did not think it overpowered the flavor as some of the other reviews suggested. I have passed this recipe on to several of my friends.

I followed the recipe exactly. It was incredibly salty (and I like salty foods!). The saltiness killed all other flavors. My husband and I forced ourselves to eat one piece each. I threw the rest away the next day.

I think the thick ground beef (used for chili)that I used was to blame for the poor taste of this dish. It was not one of my favorites, but I may try it again with better beef.

Yummy Filling! I added 1/2 cup ketchup, used sweet pickle juice and 1/2 cup of sweet relish instead of chopped dill pickles. Also used American cheese but will try cheddar next time. Wasn't crazy about the crust--will try ideas suggested in other reviews--perhaps the pizza dough will help make it healthier. :o)
