“This is so much fun to do—and kids love it!" says Elkhorn, Wisconsin's Bonnie Hawkins. "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.”

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.
