Hash Brown Pie

This is one I made up totally on my own and it came out great!

1 frozen pie shell
1 box Hungry Jack hash browns
Hot water
3/4 cup cheese, your choice (I used colby/jack since that is what I had, can use pepper jack for spice!)
2 tablespoons margarine, melted
1/2 c cup milk
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons onion, minced
salt and pepper to taste

Partially thaw pie crust by leaving on counter while mixing other ingredients. Rehydrate hash browns with hot water as directed on package and drain. Mix all ingredients together and place in 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until brown. Works as a breakfast or as a side dish.
