Souper Meat 'n' Potatoes Pie

Souper Meat 'n' Potatoes Pie is a family favorite vintage recipe from Campbell's.

Yield: one 9 inch pie

Ingredients

• 1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup, divided
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 egg, slightly beaten
• 1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Dash of pepper
• 2 cups mashed potatoes
• 1/4 cup shredded mild cheese*
• 2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled**

Instructions

1. Mix thoroughly 1/2 cup soup, beef, onion, egg, bread crumbs, parsley and seasonings.
2. Press firmly into a 9-inch pie plate.
3. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes; spoon off fat.
4. Frost with mashed potatoes; top with remaining soup and cheese.
5. Bake for 10 minutes more or until done.
6. Garnish with cooked and crumbled bacon if desired.

Notes

* We love cheese, so I normally cover the entire top of the pie with a hefty amount of cheese, more like 1 cup.

** This is my addition to the recipe. It adds a little extra flavor.
