Cheesy Swiss Pie

Start to Finish: 40 minutes

Ingredients:
1/3 lb. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 to 3 T. green peppers, chopped
9-inch pie crust, unbaked
6 slices Swiss cheese, divided
salt and pepper to taste
10- oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach, cooked
1 egg, beaten

Directions:
Brown ground beef, onion, and green peppers. Drain and spread into the bottom of pie crust. Arrange half of cheese over meat. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Mix spinach with egg, spoon evenly over cheese. Bake at 450 degrees F for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 325 degrees F and bake an additional 20 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, place the remaining cheese on top and return to oven to melt.

Servings: 6-8

Notes: Extremely good. We made two pies with it, but really it should just be one. The ground beef/ spinach combination is tasty.

Variations: We have made it with Muenster cheese before- the Swiss is still better.

Estimated Price: $6.50
