Recipe: Big Boy Pie (hamburger pie with biscuit mix crust)

Dear Katie, I hope someone will have the exact recipe you're looking for. In the meantime, maybe this recipe is similar? Or it could have been your Mom's own creation - maybe she added ketchup in place of some of the milk when mixing the biscuit dough? Maybe a little experimenting with this recipe will help you recreate it. Happy Cooking! Betsy
