BACON CHEESEBURGER POTATO PIE
My husband and father-in-law love this! It's a bit time-consuming, but worth the spectacular results. Truly a handsome dish! From one of those Pillsbury mini-magazine things you buy at the supermarket. Please note that you can use leftover mashed potatoes as well, or make homemade if you really hate instant!

Tips:
- For a crispy crust, use refrigerated pie crusts or make your own homemade pie dough. If using store-bought crusts, let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before using.
- Be sure to cook the bacon until it is crispy. This will help to add flavor and texture to the pie.
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese for the best flavor. You can also use a combination of cheeses, such as mozzarella and cheddar, or pepper jack and cheddar.
- Be careful not to overcook the pie. The crust should be golden brown and the cheese should be melted and bubbly.
- Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.
