How to Make Alex S Favorite Beef And Cheese Pie
- Brown 1 lb ground beef, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 1 green bell pepper (chopped) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Drain off excess grease.
- Stir in 1 (24 ounce) jar tomato sauce, 1 (15 ounce) can green beans (drained), and 1 teaspoon garlic salt.
- Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the beef mixture simmers, unfold 2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough and separate into triangles. Press triangles onto the bottom and up the sides of two 9-inch pie plates, creating a thin crust with a slightly raised edge.
- In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 2 large eggs. Spread evenly over the bottom of each pie crust.
- Pour the beef mixture evenly into each pie crust.
- Sprinkle each pie with 1/2 teaspoon paprika and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
- Top each pie with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is golden brown and crust is cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
