Oh, Debbie, yet another great-looking recipe of yours! This is literally a one-pot meal and what I particularly love about it is that you don't have to brown or saute anything first!!

Looks like a meatloaf "pie-crust", huh? So cool! LOL!

This is next on my list!

That caught my eye, too. You just build it and let it cook. Neat.

 

[Ol-blue]

Thanks! You can make it a one pot meal by mixing up the ground beef mixture right in the pie plate. I do that.

I'm going to make this tonight and have a question. If Debbie doesn't come on in the next hour or so, would others give it a guess?

Do I use the Tater Tots frozen or thawed?

I've never had a Tater Tot in my life, I don't think. LOL!

Thanks!

I make something similar to this, Lee, using chicken, broccoli and topping with bacon. I use the tater tots frozen.

Thanks for bringing this back up! I was looking for it the other day and couldn’t remember what it was called. Got it saved now! It’s on my list!

 

[QSis]

Oh great - thanks everyone! Going into the oven right now!

Mama, I love your version, too! Thanks!

Sooooo good!

I used frozen peas and onions, thawed, but next time I will nuke them a couple of minutes before putting them in the pie.

This is a keeper! I think kids would like this, as long as you put whatever veg. they like in the pie!

Great one-dish meal - we each had a quarter of the pie.

Another good one, Debbie!

A sprinkle of paprika on top.
