GROUND BEEF SNACK QUICHES

Ground Beef Snack Quiches image

My husband, Cory, farms, so supper can sometimes be quite late. A hearty appetizer like these meaty mini quiches is a perfect way to start the meal. They taste super made with ground beef, but I sometimes substitute bacon, ham, ground pork or sausage. -Stacy Atkinson, Rugby, North Dakota
