Crescent Cheeseburger Pie

My mother gave me this recipe just before my wedding. Now, 32 years later, my husband, six children and nine grandchildren still enjoy it!

6 ServingsPrep: 30 min. Bake: 20 min. + standing

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (4 ounces) mushroom stems and pieces, drained
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
3 eggs
6 slices (6 ounces) American cheese
1 tablespoon water

Directions

In a large skillet, cook the beef and onion over medium heat until
the meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the tomato sauce,
mushrooms, parsley, salt, oregano and pepper; set aside.
Unroll 1 package of rolls and separate dough into triangles. In
lightly greased 9-in. pie plate, arrange triangles with pointed ends
to the center and press edges together to form a pie shell. Separate
eggs; beat together whites from 3 eggs plus yolks from 2 eggs.
Pour half of beaten egg mixture over pie shell. Spoon meat mixture
into shell; arrange cheese slices on top. Spread with remaining
beaten egg. Mix water and reserved egg yolk; set aside.
