Easy Beef Pot Pie
Prep: 15 min.
Bake: 18 min.
Ingredients
1/2 of a 15-ounce package (1 crust) folded refrigerated unbaked piecrust
1-1/2 pound lean ground beef
2 cups refrigerated diced potatoes with onions or frozen loose-pack diced hash brown potatoes with onions and peppers
2 cups loose-pack frozen mixed vegetables
1 15-ounce can Italian-style or regular tomato sauce
1 14-1/2-ounce can Italian-style stewed tomatoes, undrained
2 teaspoons sesame seed
Directions
1. Let piecrust stand at room temperature while preparing ground beef mixture.
2. In a large skillet, cook ground beef until brown. Drain well. Stir in potatoes, mixed vegetables, tomato sauce, and stewed tomatoes. Bring to boiling, then remove from heat. Meanwhile, unfold piecrust; cut into eight wedges.
3. Spoon ground beef mixture into a 3-quart rectangular baking dish, spreading evenly. Place half of the pastry wedges along one long side of the dish, with points toward center, overlapping wedges slightly at the base. Repeat with the remaining pastry wedges on opposite side. Sprinkle with sesame seed.
4. Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Makes 8 servings.
