Anitas Cheese And Potato Beef Pie Ingredients

1 lbs lean ground beef or turkey	1 can (16 oz) corn or green beans, or other vegetable; your preference
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes	8 ounces cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon garlic salt	6 cups mashed potatoes; Instant works well
1 can (16 oz) Hunts tomato sauce special; plain tomato sauce works

Instructions for Anitas Cheese And Potato Beef Pie

In a large square casserole dish or deep-dish pie plate - layer in the following order:

Raw, Lean Ground Beef (crumbled or broken up into small pieces).
You can cook the beef first if you prefer. I like using the raw because it saves me time and if you use a lean beef it comes out fine. (not greasy)

Season the ground beef with red pepper flakes and garlic salt

Spoon Tomato Sauce evenly over beef

Sprinkle Corn or any other kind of vegetable that you like over tomato sauce; for example, green beans, lima beans or mixed vegetables are also good. I've used different vegetables at various times, depending on what I had in pantry.

Sprinkle grated cheese over vegetables -- save a little bit of cheese for the top of potatoes.

Spread mashed potatoes evenly over cheese layer and top with more cheese before placing in oven.

Bake in 350 degree oven for approximately 1 hour.

for flavor and categorization

Initially, this dish was very disappointing. It was sloppy and runny - completely unappetizing. After I drained it and let it set in the refrigerator for a couple of days, the layers solidified and my son decided it was a keeper. I would definitely COOK the meat before I make it again. Using it raw resulted in far too much juice. I will also spice it more - aside from the red pepper, there was very little taste.

Tasty comfort food, all-in-one dish. Easy and versatile, using ingredients usually on-hand. Next time I might try adding some diced bell pepper, along with corn.
