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
- Dough for single-crust pie
- 3/4 pound ground beef
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 4 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Directions
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°.
- Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake on a lower oven rack until edge is light golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Remove foil and weights; bake until bottom is golden brown, 3-6 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce oven setting to 350°.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes, breaking into crumbles; drain. In a large bowl, combine eggs, mayonnaise, milk, onion, cornstarch, salt, pepper and 1 cup cheese. Stir in cooked beef. Pour into crust.
- Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Cover edge loosely with foil during the last 30 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning. Remove foil. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese. Let stand 5-10 minutes before cutting.
