Lightly cook dried beef in fat, about 2 minutes. Cool
slightly; sprinkle into pastry shell. Sprinkle cheese
over beef. Mix seasonings and sprinkle over cheese.
Beat eggs and half-and-half together. Pour over
cheese and beef. Bake 40 minutes or until lightly
browned and a knife inserted into the center comes out
clean.
NOTE: If beef is very salty, pour 1 cup boiling water
over beef. Drain well; then cut coarsely.
