This Amish Cheeseburger Bake comes from a tome called the "Lanc. County Amish Cookbook", published in 1982 and boasting over seven hundred recipes.
🗺️ Regional Amish Recipes
The recipes are largely tried and true and collected from Amish cooks in the area. There are many recipes that appear more than once because they are different variations. For instance, there are at least a dozen meatloaf recipes, all of them amazing, I am sure.
Looking at the book through an anthropological lens you really can capture the culinary history of Lancaster County through this book. Amish cooking in Lancaster County and eastern Pennsylvania can sometimes be a bit more "layered" than other Amish areas and by that I mean the recipes are a bit more involved. Or they can be. But, others, like this Cheeseburger Bake are hearty farmhouse classics that stand the test of time.

Add hamburger to the egg mixture and then stir well and pour into a baking dish.

I don't call $46+ for this cookbook reasonable and since you started posting recipes from it and Amazon prices for it I have been trying to find that 'reasonable' price. JMHO

Mary, yes, $40 is terrible, look to the left and under the title you'll see copies for far less, $2 a book in some cases
