Impossible Cheeseburger Pie - vintage 1982 recipe

Printable Recipe



This looks easy enough, I thought when I landed upon this recipe on Pinterest, which lead me to clickamericana's posting of Bisquick's Impossible Pie Recipe Booklet.  And what could go wrong with something called a cheeseburger pie? I really should know better than that by now. Well, it was easy, but it was also a learning experience. I'm slowly finding that were I more familiar with other sorts of dishes than what I grew up with I'd be less surprised when a dish comes out differently than I expected.

Baked Rice with Peas - Vintage 1972 Recipe


Printable Recipe

Sometimes I need to be more careful when looking at the ingredient amounts. I was feeling a little tired this time around, and not very adventurous. Being a 'sides'  week, I thought it would be a good chance to try out this easy looking recipe I found in the Southern Living Party Cookbook from 1972. Probably should have paid more attention to the 'party' part of that book's title. You'll see what I mean in a bit.
