recipe from Bonnie at Just A Pinch
this recipe is DELICIOUS I love the crispy edges the best lol. I used green peppers instead of red and also used med cheddar instead of sharp because thats what I had but this is EXCELLENT:)

1	pound ground sirloin
1/2	cup chopped onion
3/4	cup red bell pepper
1	teaspoon olive oil
1/2	teaspoon salt
1/4	teaspoon pepper
1/2	teaspooon garlic powder
1	teaspoon cumin
1/4	teaspoon allspice
2	4 ounce cans chopped green chilis
1 1/2	cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and a little more for the top of the casserole
1	cup milk
1/2	cup sour cream
1/4	cup flour
4	eggs beaten
	dash of tobasco
	toppings of sour cream, black sliced olives and chopped green onions Directions 1 In a medium sized skillet, add the olive oil and saute the onion, garlic and bell pepper with a pinch of salt until onion is translucent. 2 Then add the ground beef and season with salt and pepper, cumin, allspice and cook until just browned (cooked through). It is going in the oven so don't overcook the beef. 3 Set your skillet at an angle and allow all the fat to drain away from the beef mixture. Soak up the grease with a paper towel and discard. 4 In a 10 x 6 x 1 1/2 inch baking dish add one can of the chilis, spread evenly over bottom of dish. 5 Sprinkle with the sharp cheese and then add the drained ground beef mixture, spreading evenly. 6 Add the second can of chilis over the meat. 7 In a small mixing bowl add the milk, sour cream, flour, salt, pepper, beaten eggs and dash of tobasco. Whisk well until smooth and pour this mixture evenly over the dish. 8 Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes until it is set. Add some cheese to the top about ten minutes before the dish is done. If the dish is not brown enough when cooking time ends, turn the oven on broil, watch carefully so it doesn't burn, only takes about five minutes or so. Cut into squares to serve and top with sour cream black olives and chopped green onions. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
4 teaspoons butter
3 McIntosh apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 (15-ounce) package refrigerated rolled pie crust
2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a large sheet tray with nonstick spray.
Heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until melted. Add the apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook, over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft, 10 – 15 minutes. Remove from the heat; let the filling cool 15 minutes.

Cut the pie crust roll into 8 (11/4-inch) pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a 5-inch round. Spoon 2 tablespoons filling slightly off center of each round. Fold each round over the filling to make a half-moon shape. Seal by pressing the edges with the tines of a fork. Prick the top of each pie two or three times to vent. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. A little of the filling may bubble out. Cool on the baking sheet on a rack 5 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar while still warm. Serve warm or at room temperature.
