1 pound lean ground beef

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
8 ounce can tomato sauce

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3 ounces real bacon bits

Instructions

Place pie pastry in a 9-inch pie crust.
In a medium skillet brown ground beef and onions. Drain off fat.
Stir in salt, oregano, crumbs, pepper, tomato sauce and celery. Scoop in pie shell.
To prepare cheese topping, beat egg and milk and stir in seasonings and cheese.
Spread cheese topping over filling and sprinkle with bacon. Bake 20 - 30 minutes at 425°F

Notes

Store boughten refrigerated pie crust or homemade pie crust both work well
Fold edges of pie crust down so they don't stick up above the pan, this will help prevent excessive browning
If edges of crust are browning too quickly cover with foil
We prefer using bacon bits, but chopped pieces of bacon would also work well
Freshly shredded cheese is preferred for melting better, but I often purchase shredded cheese and it tastes great too
Top with any sauces and vegetables that you enjoy
