German Pizza

1 lb ground beef
1 large onion
1 green bell pepper
1 ½ tsp salt divided
½ tsp pepper
2 TBS butter or margarine
7 med. Potatoes, peeled and finely shredded
3 eggs beaten
1/3 cup milk
2 c (8oz) shredded cheddar or mozzarella (I used mozzarella, and probably a little over a cup, just enough to barely cover, trying to cut calories.)

In 12 inch skillet (I only have don’t have one so I went with 19in) over medium hear, brown beef with onions and green pepper, ½ tsp salt and pepper (I didn’t measure). Remove meat mixture from skillet and drain fat. (I rinse the meat with water in a colander to get out more fat.) Reduce heat to low (I did simmer). Melt butter in skillet then spread potatoes over butter and sprinkle on remaining salt (I turned the potatoes getting them coated but I don’t know if I should have.) Top this with the beef mixture. Combine egg and milk. Pour over all. Cook covered until potatoes are tender about 30 minutes. (It was too liquidy so I had to turn the head up to a little less than medium and cooked it for an additional 20+ minutes.) Top with cheese and let melt, about 5 minutes.

Number of Servings: 9
