Crazy Crust (This is a Meal) Recipe

"This sure is crazy but the best part is, you won't throw any leftovers away. A hairdresser gave me this years ago. I make it about every two or three weeks as it takes me that long to collect the leftovers for it. I put them in small baggies and into the freezer they go, no matter how little I have. When there is enough to fill a 8"-9" pie plate, I take them out of the freezer and make a delicious supper. You can use different meats together, leftover casseroles, veggies, etc. They all blend and each time you make it there is a different flavor. You can use leftover gravy if you have it, but there is no liquid in the ingredients listed below. It will look like it will be dry but it won't. The only thing that I add that is not leftovers is some grated cheddar cheese on the top. There is a thin crust on the bottom under all your treasures."

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Lightly spray pie plate with Pam.

Step 2

In a bowl mix the above ingredients; will be sort of lumpy and look like it will never be enough.

Step 3

Put about 3/4 of it in the pie plate spreading it out making it thin in the middle.

Step 4

Pile all your leftovers (whatever they might be) on top of the small amount of batter---meat first and then veggies, rice, etc. or whatever you have.

Step 5

Grate cheese and sprinkle between layers and/or on top; spoon rest of batter around edges here and there to make a little ridge.

Step 6

Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes till golden (NOTE: Put everything that you have in it, no matter what; the flavors will blend; each dinner that you make will taste a tad different because of the different foods).
