Meat-za-pie
Serves 6
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup dry bread or cracker crumbs
2/3 cup (5 oz) evaporated milk
1/2 tsp garlic salt
2/3 cup tomato or spaghetti sauce
3 slices of American or Mozzarella cheese, cut into strips
Oregano to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix beef, cracker crumbs, evaporated milk and garlic salt in a bowl for the meat mixture. Then, spread evenly over the bottom of a 9 inch pan, raising a rim about 1/2 inch high around the side of a pan.
Spread sauce over meat mixture. Arrange cheese slices in a crisscross pattern over the top. Sprinkle on oregano.
Bake at 400 degrees about 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and meat is cooked through. Cut in wedges to serve.
A Note From Bethany...
My mom always used a 9-inch glass pie dish when she made this. I can't vouch for the results in other types of casserole dishes.
After the pie is cooked, you will need to take a turkey baster and remove the grease from under and along the sides of the meat. I can't stress this enough!
