deb_daken: Chili sauce is called "Chili Sauce" in a bottle. One brand name is Heinz. You can find in in the condiment aisle.

Such fun to make and what a fantastic tasty pie! I imagine you could make a "taco pie" with great results as well.

What did you use for the "chili sauce"? BBQ sauce? Tabasco? I'm planning on making it for Halloween - such a cute idea.

My husband & kids gave this one a big thumbs-up. I added a pie crust on the bottom and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese over the beef before I put on the top crust. We will definitely make this one again.

Since my "child" is grown and away at college, I made this dish for my husband and I without carving the jack-o-lantern face and it was amazingly yummy! I just put the pie crust on top and baked it - nothing else to add to it. This dish has wonderful flavor (salsa and chili sauce together) and I also make regular sloppy joes using buns with this recipe. Definitely a keeper! Thanks for sharing, Bonnie!

Well-received for my 8 year old's sleepover supper. It IS very kid-friendly - and good to have the corn mixed in, too.
