Recipes:
**Cheeseburger Pie**
**INGREDIENTS**
1 unbaked (9-inch) pie
shell
1 pound ground beef
½ cup tomato sauce
⅓ cup chopped onion
⅓ cup chopped green
bell pepper
1 teaspoon instant
beef bouillon
granules
3 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
8 slices American
cheese, divided
**SERVES 6**
**Make Ahead**
Prebake and cool the pie
shell as directed in step 1
up to 8 hours ahead.
**VARIATION**
For a delicious
flavor variation, use
Swiss or Provolone
cheese instead of the
American cheese.
**1** Preheat oven to 425°F.
Bake pie shell for
8 minutes; remove from
oven. Reduce temperature
to 350°F. Heat a large skillet
over medium heat; add
beef. Cook until brown and
crumbly, about 5 minutes.
**2** Add tomato sauce,
onion, bell pepper
and bouillon. Cook until
bouillon dissolves; remove
from heat. Add eggs and
flour; mix well.
**3** Tear 6 cheese slices
into small pieces. Stir
cheese into beef mixture;
spoon into pie shell. Bake
pie for 25 minutes or until
filling is heated through.
**4** Cut remaining cheese
slices into triangles.
Arrange triangles in a
spoke-fashion on top of
pie. Bake for about
3 minutes longer or until
cheese is melted. Cut pie
into wedges.
Make It Quicker
• Chopping extra
onion and peppers
and freezing them in
separate airtight plastic
bags will save time
when a recipe calls for
one of these chopped
vegetables.
