Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly spray 9" Pie plate. Sprinkle 1 T of the cornmeal evenly onto bottom and sides. For crust, combine the remaining 1/4 C cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt in batter bowl. Add milk and oil; stir with fork until mixture forms a ball. Transfer to lightly floured surface. Using lightly floured roller, roll out crust to 10 in circle. Place in prepared pie plate; shape edge to form rim. For filling, cook and stir ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in salsa. Spoon beef mixture into pie crust; sprinkle with cheese. Bake 12-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Top pie with lettuce, tomato and olives. Garnish with sour cream and additional salsa, if desired.
