Cheesy Beef and Potato Pie (Crustless)
Cooking time: 45 minutes for menu Cooking schedule: see below for instructions
We'll be using 8oz (240gr) ground beef in the meatballs on Thursday, so you can get a bigger package and freeze half. (But you already know that...) As everything is cooked before going into the oven it's just a matter of melding the flavors and cooking the eggs to bind it all together.
