Step 11 –Allow the beef mixture to cool slightly.
Step 12 –Add the eggs and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese to the beef mixture and stir to combine.
Step 13 –Spoon the beef mixture into the pie crust.
Step 14 –Bake until the center of the filling is set and the edges are golden-brown, about 25-30 minutes.
Step 15 –Sprinkle the remaining cheese and the tomatoes over the pie and bake again until the cheese has melted, about 5-10 minutes.
Step 16 –Allow the pie to stand for 5-10 minutes.
