I recently invited my folks to dinner at our house. I made cute little individual apple pies baked in canning jars for dessert for them. But I had 1/2 jar of apple pie filling left and I needed to make sure it got used. Ya know, when that apple pie filling jar starts with the picking of the actual apples, you don’t want to waste any of it!
I decided to use it up making a simple dessert for RancherMan & me. I’d heat up that apple pie filling, put it on a bed of graham crackers and top it with graham cracker crumbs & whipped cream. Kinda like a quick No-Bake Apple Pie Dessert. But I didn’t have any graham crackers. So I sat out to find (and of course not follow, lol) a recipe using standard pantry ingredients.

Poor-Man’s Steak (or stuffed hamburger) is a ground meat patty stuffed with grilled onions, peppers & melted cheese. I like to add diced jalapenos for a spicy kick!
We enjoyed this stuffed hamburger patty served on a bed of fried potatoes & topped w/brown gravy. This simple recipe is sure to bring rave reviews.
