Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh zucchini, tomatoes, and ground beef will give your pie the best flavor.
- Grate the zucchini: Grating the zucchini will help it cook evenly and release its moisture.
- Brown the ground beef: Browning the ground beef will help to develop its flavor and keep it from becoming dry.
- Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese or a blend of cheeses will give your pie a delicious, gooey center.
- Don't overcook the pie: The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Overcooking will dry out the pie.

This hamburger zucchini pie is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover ground beef and zucchini. The pie is filling and satisfying, and the combination of flavors is sure to please everyone at the table.
