Cheesburger Pie

1 pound extra lean ground beef

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 1/2 cup shredded reduced fat Cheddar cheese, divided

4 eggs

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup fat-free half-and-half

1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef 8 to 10 minutes, or until no longer pink; drain liquid. Stir in onion powder and 1 cup cheese. Place mixture in prepared baking dish.

In a medium bowl, whisk together egg substitute, mayonnaise, half-and-half, salt, and pepper; pour over beef mixture.

Bake 25 minutes, sprinkle remaining cheese on top, and cook another 5 to 10 minutes, or until firm in center. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.  

Comments: This is also a fairly inexpensive dish to make.  Your biggest cost will be the ground beef.  If you don't have half and half, try evaporated milk (canned cream).  The eggs on top come out light and fluffy and oh so good.  I froze a serving of this dish and when thawed and heated in the microwave it came out not as good as fresh but still good enough for me to freeze it in the future.
