Cheeseburger pie

 We’ve eaten this a few times, but for some reason this time just tasted better.  Was it the cream?  The cheese?  🤷‍♀️  Actually, it might have been the onion soup packet I added, instead of the other spices.  It was fattening (THM-S meal) and delicious served with a salad.  

I tweaked the recipe a little.  I used 1lb of ground turkey and 1 lb of ground beef.  Everything else was the same.

Serve on tortillas or on a salad.  Garnish with cheese, sour cream and a squeeze of lime.

*this was perfect for an E meal in THM.  I added about 5 pieces of shredded cheese, a garnish amount, so it stayed well I  the E range.  I ate these on carb smart tortillas.

NOTES

You may halve recipe and press into a traditional pie plate for smaller families.
P.S. I've used Dreamfield's Pasta for over a year at least prior to starting Trim Healthy Mama, and we love it. It tastes no different than 'normal' pasta, and doesn't give me that 'carb crash' feeling after eating. It doesn't agree with everyone though. If you can't enjoy Dreamfields, please feel free to sub a spaghetti squash for the noodles in a half recipe.
