Meat and Potato Pie

By Addie

I used to make this in Swansea all the time - delicious with ketchup!
A family favorite! Jackie especially enjoyed it!

Ingredients

• 1 package pie crust mix (for 2-crust pie) or pie crust of choice
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 envelope onion soup mix (1/4 cup)
• Dash pepper
• Dash ground allspice
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 tablespoons,snipped parsley
• 1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 12-ounce package frozen loose-pack hash brown potatoes, thawed (3 cups)
• Warmed catsup

Preparation

Step 1

1. Prepare pie crust mix according to package directions; roll out for a 2-crust 9-inch pie. Line a 9-inch pie plate with half of the pastry. Set aside.

2. In bowl combine milk, dry onion soup mix, pepper, and allspice. Add ground beef: mix thoroughly. Lightly pat meat mixture into pastry-lined pie plate. Combine parsley, melted butter, and salt; add thawed hash brown potatoes, stirring to coat. Spoon potatoes over meat mixture.

3. Adjust top crust; seal and flute edges cut slits for escape of steam. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees till crust is golden, about 1 hour. Serve with warmed catsup.
