--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1                     unbaked 9-inch pie shell
  1              pound  ground beef
     1/2           cup  tomato sauce
     1/3           cup  chopped onion
     1/3           cup  chopped green bell pepper
  1           teaspoon  instant beef bouillon granules
  3                     eggs -- beaten
  2        tablespoons  all-purpose flour
  8             slices  American cheese -- divided

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bake pie shell for 8 minutes; remove from oven. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add beef. Cook until brown and crumbly, about 5 minutes.

2. Add tomato sauce, onion, bell pepper, and bouillon. Cook until bouillon dissolves; remove from heat. Add eggs and flour; mix well.

3. Tear 6 cheese slices into small pieces. Stir cheese into beef mixture; spoon into pie shell. Bake pie for 25 minutes or until filling is heated through.

4. Cut remaining cheese slices into triangles. Arrange triangles in a spoke-fashion on top of pie. Bake for about 3 minutes longer, or until cheese is melted. Cut pie into wedges.

VARIATION: For a delicious flavor variation, use Swiss or Provolone cheese instead of the American cheese.
