1/2 pound ground beef
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 (4-ounce) can diced green chili peppers
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 unbaked pie shell

In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned, stirring to crumble; drain. Spoon the beef mixture into the cooked pie shell then top with diced green chili peppers and shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
In a medium bowl combine eggs, milk, salt, and garlic powder; mix well. Pour into the pie shell.
