Cheeseburger Pie
Beef from the Oven
Prep time:
20 minutesCooking time:
30 minutes“American cheese is more expensive presliced than in bulk form. You can save quite a few extra dollars by purchasing this favorite cheese in bulk and slicing it yourself as needed.”
Ingredients
Serves 6
- 1 unbaked (9-inch) pie shell
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon instant beef bouillon granules
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 8 slices American cheese, divided
Directions
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.

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.

Buttery Summer Vegetables
Look for reduced priced vegetables in the produce section of your supermarket. These vegetables are less expensive, but are just as tasty and nutrient-rich.
