Tonight's Supper - Country Pie


Country Pie by Helen Sanders

"Crust":
1/2 - 8oz can tomato sauce
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 lb ground beef/round/chuck
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tsp (sea)salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp Basil
1/4 tsp oregano
Mix together in bowl. Grease 9" pie plate, add to plate, pat out on bottom and all the way up the sides. Pinch 1-inch flutings around the edges. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350. 

"Filling"
1 1/3 cup Minute rice
1 cup water
1 1/2 - 8oz can tomato sauce
1/2 tsp (sea)salt
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Combine rice, tomato sauce, water, salt and 1/4 to 1/2 cup cheese. Mix well, spoon into pie crust. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake 25 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with remainder of cheese. Return to oven uncovered bake 15 minutes. Serves 6 cut into pie-shaped pieces. 

This was VERY tasty! (I tweaked this recipe, as I do most recipes, and you are welcome to do the same.)
