Ingredients:

2 pounds extra lean ground beef

Drizzle of favorite cooking oil for sauteing

2 cloves minced garlic

1 bunch green onions, sliced thinly

1 pound sliced mushrooms

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

3/4 cup mayonnaise

6 eggs, beaten

Salt and Pepper

2 unbaked deep dish pie shells

Method:

1: Preheat oven to 375*F.

2: Brown ground beef, drain and set aside to cool.

3: Drizzle a scant amount of oil in a skillet over medium high heat and add minced garlic and mushrooms, sauté.

4: When the mushrooms are almost tender, add the sliced green onion to the skillet to start them cooking. Do not cook them completely. You just want to take the “crunch” off.

5: In a large bowl combine the browned ground beef, mushroom, garlic and green onion mixture. Set aside until cooled to room temperature.

6: Once cooled, add shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise and the 6 beaten eggs to the ground beef, mushrooms and green onion mixture. Add salt and pepper to suit your tastes. Stir well to combine.

7: Divide the mixture between two deep dish pastry shells. Make sure you place the pie plates on a cookie sheet, for stability and to protect your over from any bubbling over during the baking process.

8: Bake approximately 40 minutes or until the center is set and the quiches are golden brown.
