Beef and Cheddar Quiche

Beef and Cheddar Quiche
This recipe has been a family favorite for years. It's easy to prepare and perfect for a busy schedule. I've also made this recipe with salmon - substituting two cans for the ground beef and adding 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. It's great!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 pound ground beef
  • 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided

Directions
