Tempt My Tummy Tuesday - Beef Cottage Cheese Pie

Well it's not really Tuesday but I just had to put up another one :). Missed all my friends, hope some yummy recipes bring back some of my loyal commentor. Promise no more week long giveaways, come back to me ... LOL :) Enjoy!!!

I know you're looking at the title and thinking has Alexis lost her mind. Well I did a long time ago and you faithful readers now that and I'm shocked you would even ask ... LOL. But really this was a delish dish that the boys ate up, even Rick ate it with out complaints. That also might be because I switched to beef from ham ... LOL. But really you must try this recipe it's very yummy! I of course used extra meat, since the boys love meat!

What I used:

Heated up the meat I browned earlier in the week.

I find I buy it in bulk then brown it up to make it easy during the week.
I added a little Garlic Pepper
Instead of just pepper

Added onions to brown up!
Add ketchup
Add Flour
Mix up eggs

Add cottage cheese

I mixed it all up, instead of just putting on top.

Add the meat to the premade pie crust

Pour Eggs & Cottage cheese

Yummy out of the oven

I found this recipe on About.com and just love it, it may sound a little strange to you but really it was super yummy!
