Cheeseburger pie



A friend at work gave me this recipe. Jake was very excited to hear about it. I decided to make it tonight and glad I did. It's very tasty! I will write out the recipe as written and note the differences next to the things I changed.


Ingredients:
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 c. chopped onion
  • 1 8oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 4oz can chopped mushrooms, drained (I used fresh mushrooms)
  • 1/2 cup snipped parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 packages crescent rolls (8 rolls each)
  • 3 eggs
  • 6 slices American cheese (I used cheddar)
  • 1 tablespoon water
Directions
  • cook ground beef and onion until meat is brown and onion is tender; drain off fat
  • stir in tomato sauce, mushrooms, parsley, salt, oregano, and pepper
  • unroll one package of crescent rolls and place them in a lightly greased 9 inch pie plate; pressing edges together to form a pie shell
  • Separate one of the eggs; set yolk aside
  • Beat egg white with the remaining 2 eggs
  • Pour 1/2 the beaten egg over the pie shell
  • Spoon meat mixture into shell
  • Arrange the cheese on top of meat; spread with remaining beaten egg
  • Mix reserved egg yolk with water; lightly brush some over edge of pastry. Reserve remaining yolk mixture.
  • Unroll second package of crescent rolls, form a top on the pie.
  • Seal edges, cut slits in the top for steam to escape. Brush top with remaining yolk.
  • Loosely cover the edge w/ tin foil.
  • Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.
  • Cover center of pie loosely with foil.
  • Bake for 20 minutes longer.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes. (Make sure you let it stand, otherwise its too watery)
