Meat Crust Pie is a wild and wacky dish from my childhood. Turns out this meat, cheese and rice concoction wasn’t unique to my upbringing, though. My friend Susie has fond memories of Meat Crust Pie. She shares memories and I show you how to make it in a quick YouTube video.
Meat Crust Pie
This recipe is pretty easy, but there are two spots where I’ve screwed it up in the past. First, be sure to mind the directions where it says to divide the cheese, tomato sauce and green peppers. They go both into the crust and into the filling.
The other place to watch out is in draining off the excess fat after the initial 25 minute bake. Tilt the plate slightly to drain off some of the fat, but don’t go overboard or you’ll lose your whole pie. That would be sad!
Did you grow up with Meat Crust Pie? I’d love to hear your memories! Or if you didn’t grow up with this dish, what was your favorite family recipe that sometimes raises an eyebrow. Meat Crust Pie is admittedly wacky, but one of my favorites.
