German Pizza

1 lb ground beef
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, diced
1 1/2 tsp salt, divided
1/2 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
6 medium potatoes (about 2 1/4 lbs), peeled and finely shredded
3 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup milk
2 cups (8 oz) shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese

In a 12" stove-top or electric skillet over medium heat, brown beef with onion, green pepper, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper.  Remove meat mixture from skillet and drain fat.  Reduce heat to low.  Melt butter; spread potatoes over butter and sprinkle with remaining salt.  Top with beef mixture.  Combine eggs and milk; pour over all.  Cook, covered, until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.  Top with cheese; cover and heat until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.  Cut into wedges or squares to serve.
