Cheeseburger Pie

I've been asked about Cheeseburger Pie. This recipe came to me years ago from my mother-in-law. When it didn't "taste like mom's" I gave up trying. I pulled the recipe out for this week hoping to add something to my list of menus and to give my hubby a smile. Maybe enough time has passed for him to enjoy it. = ) I'll be leaving out the green peppers, I like them but they don't like me. And I'll add a couple of cloves of garlic.

Cheeseburger Pie

1 lb. ground beef
1/2 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
4 oz. can tomato sauce
Cheese topping (see below)
9" pie crust

Preheat oven to 425. Brown beef, onion, green pepper. Mix in rest of ingredients except cheese topping. Spread in pie crust. Spread cheese topping over meat mixture. Bake 30 min.

Cheese Topping
8 oz. (2 cups) grated cheddar cheese
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. dry mustard
1/2 tsp. Worcestshire Sauce

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Reserve to pour over meat mixture.

Quote of the Day, July 30

The children are playing together in our basement playroom. I use the word "playing" loosely. Pestering. Whacking. And generally annoying each other is a better description. But there are moments.

Ben just sat down beside Ellie, touched her arm and said, "Thank you, Jesus, for Ellie."

Awwww....doesn't that just warm your heart? I'll try to remember this the next time he whacks her in the head with Thomas the Tank Engine.

I hope this gives you some ideas. If you ever want a recipe just e-mail me. I'll be glad to share. Though I warn you I'm not a strictly-by-the-recipe kind of cook.
