Charlene Michael of East Jordan sent in today's recipe for Souper Meat 'n' Potato Pie.
She said she cut it out of a newspaper a long time ago, and the clipping appears to be from the Detroit Free Press.
"It was a family favorite when my children were growing up and I still occasionally make it for myself," she writes. "It's fast, yummy and comforting.
"Just add a veggie or salad and enjoy."
Souper Meat 'n' Potato Pie
1 lb. ground beef
1 can (13-oz.) cream of mushroom soup, divided
1/4 c. chopped onion

Dash pepper
2 c. mashed potatoes
1/4 c. shredded mild cheese

In medium bowl, combine ground beef, one-half of the mushroom soup, onion, bread crumbs, egg, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix well with hands and press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and pour off fat. Fill center of pie with mashed potatoes and spread with remaining mushroom soup.
