Crustless Quiche or Impossibly Easy Green Chile Pie

Cook and crumble 1 lb sausage, remove from pan and drain grease except for about 1 tablespoon, in sausage grease saute 1 onion, when onion is transparent and almost carmelized add 1 (8 oz can) diced green chiles.

(You can also use cubed ham, bacon, taco meat, diced chicken, etc. and substitute any veggies you like: mushrooms (saute first), broccoli (steamed first), mixed vegetables) Go to Betty Crocker dot com for over 200 variations.

Pour meat/veggie mixture into greased 9 inch pie plate.

Mix 1/2 cup bisquick
1 cup milk
1/4 to 1/2 tsp salt (depending on the saltiness of your meat)
1/8 tsp pepper
2 eggs
and 1 cup grated cheese

Pour over meat mixture.
Bake at 400 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes (until knife inserted comes out clean). Cool 5 minutes before serving.

Quiche
from BH&G New Cook Book - My Fave!!!

3 beaten eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 c. chopped green onion
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
dash ground nutmeg
3/4 cup chopped cooked chicken, ham, etc.
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (swiss, cheddar, jack, or havarti - 6 oz.)
1 T. all-purpose flour

Preheat oven according to package instructions, prepare pastry crust (I use ready crust that comes in a roll or else a regular freezer pie crust). Bake crust as for 1 crust pie.

Meanwhile, in a bowl stir together eggs, milk, onion, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in cooked meat. Toss together grated cheese and flour. Add to egg mixture; mix well.

Pour egg mixture into hot pastry shell. Bake in 325 degree oven for 35 to 40 minutes or till a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If necessary, cover edge of crust with foil to prevent over browning. Let stand for 10 minutes. Serves 6.

Other great quiche combinations: cheddar, green chile, onion & sausage; swiss, onion, spinach & bacon; ham & cheddar; mushroom, cheddar, bacon; anything that sounds good to you. (Saute the veggies/ cook the meat, before adding so that most of the liquid is out of them.)
