I haven't tried this recipe yet, but plan on making this for Halloween pot-luck I'm going to. Description from Bonnie Hawkins of Elkhorn, Wisconsion: This is so much fun to do - and kids love it. You'll never have to worry about leftovers. It's even good for adult parties. but you might want to increase the heat level with a hotter salsa or seasonings. Author suggests garnishing with cilantro or parsley for a pumpkin stem. I imagine you could make this pie without cutting out the Jack-O-Lantern face on the pie crust and it would be just fine.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 cup salsa
1/2 cup chili sauce
1 cup frozen corn
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, chopped
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 pie pastry, sheet refrigerated pie pastry
1 egg
orange paste food coloring
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. In a small bowl, combine the flour, salsa and chili sauce until blended; stir into skillet. Add the corn, chilies and brown sugar.
2. Transfer to a deep-dish 9-in. pie plate. Unroll pastry; place over filling. With a sharp knife, cut out a face to resemble a jack-o'lantern; flute edges. Beat egg and food coloring; brush over pastry.
3. Bake at 450 degrees for 9-11 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
