Green Bean Pie Recipe

This recipe originally called for using a pound of ground beef. I’m substituting it with some Yves ground.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 ½ cups chopped onion
  • 1 package Yves veggie ground (or other of your choice) or 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound fresh, or 1 package frozen green beans
  • 1 ¾ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 6 eggs beaten
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Melt the butter in a skillet; sauté the onions for 10 minutes. Add the meat; cook until no pink remains, stirring fre­quently to prevent lumps from forming. Mix in beans, salt, pepper, and nut­meg; cook for 2 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes.

Beat the eggs with the sugar and lemon juice. Stir into the bean mixture. Pour into a greased 10-inch pie plate. Bake in a preheated 325° F oven for 45 minutes, or until browned and set. Serve hot or cold. Serves 4-6.
