Broccoli Beef Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped fresh broccoli
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
• 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1/3 cup chopped onion
• 2 cups biscuit/baking mix
• 1/2 cup water
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• SPINACH BEEF PIE:
• 2 cups cooked chopped spinach
• 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

• In a small saucepan, cook broccoli in a small amount of water until crisp-tender; drain and set aside.
• In a skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in mushrooms, 1-1/2 cups cheddar cheese and onion. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Combine the biscuit mix and water to form a soft dough. Add remaining cheddar cheese; stir until blended. With well-floured hands, pat dough onto the bottom and 1 in. up the sides of a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
• Spoon meat mixture over dough; top with broccoli. Combine the eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper; pour over broccoli.
• Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. SPINACH BEEF PIE: Substitute spinach for the broccoli and Swiss cheese for the cheddar cheese. Yield: 8 servings.
