Happy Saturday Bacon Lovers! Here I am in the Castle Baconia kitchen sharing a recipe with you!!
You know I’m always trying to find something totally yummy that involves bacon for you to try. Well I searched high and low and found this which I think you will enjoy. It’s just a little bit different because the “shell” of this dinner pie is MEAT – not pastry! Ready?
“Meat Shell Bacon Potato Pie”
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chuck or lean ground beef (90% lean)
- 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted, divided
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch pepper
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled (no surprise here but I used SIX strips of bacon – – – -!!! The more the merrier I say)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine beef, 1/2 cup soup, onion, egg, bread crumbs, parsley, salt and pepper; mix well. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes; drain.
- Combine potatoes and remaining soup in a bowl; mix until fluffy. Spread over meat crust. Sprinkle with bacon and cheese. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes. Let stand for a few minutes. Cut into wedges.
See? Different but really no unusual ingredients – just put together in a different way using the ground beef as a “pie shell”. This is really tasty. Trust me!
Well, a kitty after my bacon-lovin’ heart. Mama doesn’t eat it very often but she LOVES spaghetti alla carbonara made with crisp bacon and eggs whipped up with parmesan and lot of black pepper, and we were just thinking about BLTs for dinner…it’s hot here and the lighter the better.
Bacon rocks!

BLTs are a favorite here too – great in the summer when you want something but not a big huge meal. Bacon does rock – BIG TIME!!

That does sound very tasty, and I think it would still be good without the bacon.
