Cheeseburger Pie-A Definite Favorite!

This recipe is from my grandma, but it was handed down to me by my mom. I don't remember my mom making this for dinner growing up, but she should have. Everyone loves this dish, plus it's quick and easy. Who doesn't like a good cheeseburger...pie? ;)

Cheeseburger pie is one of my favorites because you can make it a day before guests come and people can reheat the individual slices. I serve it with asparagus or salad, but any vegetable would be good on the side.

Recipe:
Cook 1 empty deep dish pie crust (according to directions on pie crust package)

Cool crust completely

Brown 1 lb. of ground beef in a skillet (I use super lean hamburger so there's minimal fat to drain)

Add 1 jar (16oz) mild or medium salsa to meat & warm (I think Pace medium chunky salsa is the best)

Dump in cooled pie crust

In a small bowl, mix:
*1 egg
*1/4 cup milk
*1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
*Couple shakes of salt & pepper
*2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (I always use sharp cheddar)

Fill crust with hamburger mixture
Top with egg/milk mixure

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 min

Cool 10-15 minutes & cut into slices
