Hi Everyone and Happy Friday the 13th to you...I hope nobody is terribly suspicious! I've always seemed to have GOOD things happen when the 13th falls on a Friday, so am no longer worried when the day arrives!

Today's recipe looks very unique! Instead of using the beef as a filling, it is actually the crust. Enjoy!

Beef Crust Pie

1 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup finely diced onion
1/4 cup shredded carrot
2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp savory
1 beaten egg
1/2 cup tomato juice
1 tbsp. tomato ketchup
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Mix beef, oats, vegetables and seasonings. Combine eggs with remaining ingredients. Add to beef and mix well. Press mixture on bottom and sides of 9-inch pie plate and flute edge.

Filling:
2 cups cooked rice
1-7 1/2 oz can tomato sauce
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/8 tsp. basil
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Combine rice, tomato sauce, seasonings and 1/4 cup of the grated cheese. Spread filling in meat shell, cover and bake 25 minutes at 350 F. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake uncovered until cheese melts, about 10 to 15 minutes. Serves 6.
