Notes

  • This recipe is a perfect way to make use of leftover mashed potatoes, or you can make them fresh for the pie! In a pinch, for an ultra-fast pie, use a packet of instant mashed potatoes and 2 cups of water- just be sure to season it heavily.
  • Feel free to add as many seasonings as you'd like! I highly recommend my recipe for burger seasoning, as it will add so much depth of flavor to the ground beef.
  • This is a great make-ahead recipe that can be stored cold until it's ready to serve, then popped into the oven for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
