TOASTY CHEESE BAKE 
8 slices white bread
butter
1/2 lb. ground beef

1 c. shredded process sharp American cheese (about 4 oz.)
1 egg, slightly beaten
3/4 c. milk
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash pepper
1/8 tsp. dry mustard

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Toast bread; butter both sides. Cook and stir meat, onion, celery, prepared mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt until meat is brown and onion is tender.

Alternate layers of toast, meat mixture and cheese in greased baking pan, 9 x 9 x 2 inches. Mix remaining ingredients; pour over layers in pan. If you wish, sprinkle with paprika. Bake uncovered 30-35 minutes. 4-6 servings.

Hamburger and cheese flavors blend as this bakes. An easy lunchtime or supper treat - serve with pickles, carrot and celery curls, shiny red apples and brownies.
