Recipe: Cheesy Beef Pie

Thanks to a very special blog follower for this recipe. I made it Wednesday night for the family and they loved it! There was talk of substituting the mushroom but I just omitted them altogether. This is a delicious dinner and one slice of pie with a light salad or in our case a side of fresh green beans, will certainly fill you up.

Want to try it out for your self? Here's the recipe, please let me know what you think!

Cheesy Beef Pie

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 - 8 oz can tomato sauce
1/4 cup snipped parsley
1 - 3 oz can chopped or sliced mushrooms drained (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 tsp dried oregano crushed
2 pkgs refrigerated crescent rolls (8 in each)
3 eggs
6 slices sharp American Cheese

Pre-heat oven at 350 degrees.

First, saute up some onions until translucent and add the ground beef. Drain the icky fat. Add tomato sauce, parsley and oregano (mushrooms if you like). Set aside.

Second, open 1 package of rolls. Place the sections of dough together to form a rectangle. Pinch the sections together so as to create a whole bottom pie crust, lay it down in your pan. I smashed the dough down in the pan and rounded out the edges as needed. this part made me feel like a big goof!

Now, take you eggs and beat them scrambled. Then brush the yolky goodness over the dough. Spoon the meat mix into the pie shell. Add slices of cheese on top. Spread the more egg mixture over the cheese. Roll out the second package of dough same as before only place it on top of and leave some escape hatches to let out the steam! Brush top layer of crusts with yolk that remains.

Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes. 10 minutes into the 55 minute total add tin foil over your pie so it doesn't get too dark!

Bon Appetit!
