My Meat and Potato Pie

Everyone I suppose has their own twist on this rather simple dinner. Here is mine.

2 lbs cooked and drained hamburger meat

I cooked the following veggies in the meat after draining the grease.

1/2 cup chopped jalapenos
1 cup chopped green pepper
2 cups chopped mushrooms
6 slices cheese, yellow or white or spicy

You will need 5 cups prepared mashed potatoes

In another pan prepare instant potatoes as on package except you are going to add 1 cup sour cream to the liquid and heat till very hot not boiling. Turn off and let stand for a few minutes and then add instant potato flakes.

 WAVERLY CRACKERS  are the crust of this pie. You will need 3 packages out of the box and crush to crumbs. Set aside.
Now we are ready to assemble the pie.

Heavily butter a 9X14 pan and using 2/3 of the crumbs cover the buttered sides and bottom of pan and pat down. 
Next spoon in 1/2 of the burger mixture.
Layer the cheese and then spoon on the last half of the burger.
Next pile on the mashed potatoes and spread them around flattening them to the edges of the pan.
Sprinkle on the last of the Waverly crumbs and bake at 400 for 35 minutes.
Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Yum!
