FOOD 'American as Apple Pie?' Try Cheeseburger Pie NOVEMBER 21, 2013 – 11:00 AM – 1 COMMENTS Share on facebookShare on twitterMore Sharing Services 940 Ben Rayl By BEN RAYL@comfortablefood When I first moved to Europe, I was very excited about the new culinary experiences I was going to have. But after a few years of grazing my way across the continent, I began to really crave the foods of my homeland—classic American comfort foods. I began to look up recipes for things I could make, things I’d never made before but had taken a sudden interest in. I called my mother to get recipes I remembered from my childhood, and I tweaked them to adapt to the ingredients I was able to get. I’ve come up with many recipes in the last few years, but this one maybe captures most the essence of the foods I had come to crave. This pie is beefy and cheesy and really, really delicious. It makes me think of a housewife in the ’50s, calling her family to the table for a big slice of cheeseburger pie. Pie that—if this imaginary family is anything like mine—won’t be around for long.
