- 1 refrigerated piecrust (from a 15-oz. package)
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded American and Cheddar cheese blend

- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
- 4 slices American cheese, cut into1/2-inch strips(20 strips total)

Preheat oven to 425°F. Place the piecrust in an ungreased 9-inch pie plate. Bake until lightly browned, 5–7 minutes. Reduce oven to 325°F.

Meanwhile, cook the beef and onion in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and crumbly and the onion is tender, 7–9 minutes. Drain.

Combine the eggs, milk, cheese blend, salt, pepper, and oregano in a medium bowl. Stir in the beef mixture. Spread in the baked piecrust. Bake until the filling is set, 30–40 minutes.
