¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup whole milk
1 large egg
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions:

1. Prepare the Pie Crust:

2. Prepare the Filling:

– Stir in the tomato sauce, breadcrumbs, salt, oregano, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

3. Assemble the Pie:
– In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and dry mustard. Stir into the beef mixture.
– Spoon the beef mixture into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

4. Bake:
