* 1 lb. very lean hamburger * 1 small chopped onion * 4 slices crisp-cooked bacon, chopped in bits * 3 eggs * 1/2 cup mayonnaise * 1/2 cup half-n-half * 8 oz. shredded chedder or swiss cheese * garlic powder to taste (optional) * white pepper
Brown hamburger in skillet with onion. Remove and mix in bowl with bacon pieces, breaking up any larger clumps with a fork or pastry mixer until you have a fine mix. Drain well of any excess grease and press into the bottom of a deep-dish pie pan. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine remaining ingredients in mixer bowl and whip well. Pour mixture over beef "crust" and bake 40-45 minutes until top is browned and "set". Cool 15-20 minutes before slicing. This can be packaged in Ziplocs or plastic containers for meals quickly microwaved over the next 3-5 days. (Does not freeze well, though.)
