Hamburger Tomato Pie

Dough:
1/2 cup melted butter
2 tbsp milk
2 tbsp water
1/8 tsp salt
dash of vinegar
1 1/2 cups flour

Mix butter, milk, and water together in a medium mixing bowl. Add the salt and vinegar; stir to mix. Add enough flour to make the consistency of biscuit dough. Do NOT work too much. Roll out, reserving enough for the top crust. Line a deep dish pie pan with the dough. Let it overlap sides of pie pan. Make filling, fill crust and add the top crust. Cut a few slits for air to escape during baking.

Filling:
2 tbsp butter
1 large tomato, chopped
1 lb hamburger meat
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1 small yellow onion, chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet. Add the onion and saute until tender. Add the meat to the onion and cook until no longer red. Add the tomato, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir to blend well. Simmer for 5 minutes. Pour filling into the prepared crust. Top with top crust. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes then lower temperature to 375 and bake until the crust is browned and the filling is bubbling.

Enjoy!
