Cheesy Beef Pie
A tasty cheeseburger pie, made with lean ground beef, onion, tomato sauce, and cheese.
Cook Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or 1 1/2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 packages crescent rolls
3 large eggs, divided
6 slices American cheese
1 tablespoon water

Directions:
Brown ground beef and onion, in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain off excess fat; stir in tomato sauce, parsley, salt and pepper.

Unroll one package of crescent rolls; separate into triangles. Place in a greased 9-inch pie pan, pressing to seal perforations and forming a pie shell.

Separate one of the eggs; set egg yolk aside. Beat together the 2 eggs and 1 egg white; Pour half beaten egg over pie shell. Spoon meat mixture into pie shell then arrange cheese slices over top. Pour remaining beaten egg mixture over cheese.

Mix reserved egg yolk with 1 tablespoon water. Brush a little over the pastry edges.

Unroll second package of crescent rolls. Press together to forum a rectangle about 12 x 6 inches. Press perforations together to seal. Roll out to a 12-inch square; place over filling. Trim and seal; crimp edges.

Cut a few small slits in the top of the crust to vent then brush with remaining egg yolk mixture.

Cover pastry edge loosely with a strip of foil to prevent over browning.

Bake pie at 350° for 30 minutes. Cover loosely with foil and bake 20 minutes longer. This protects the top from getting too dark.
