cheeseburger pie

as i mentioned before, the ladies in my homegroup met for a recipe exchange and here is one recipe i specifically asked for. it's a great, inexpensive, week night meal and the chili sauce (i buy chili with no beans) really does make an excellent dipping sauce along with the other burger fixin's.
