I made several of these hearty pies for a branding bee on our cattle ranch. Everybody had to have the recipe. With mashed potatoes, ground beef, beans and fresh vegetables, it's truly a meal in itself.

Ingredients

2 cups cold mashed potatoes (prepared with milk and butter)
1 envelope taco seasoning, divided
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 cup water
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Sour cream

Directions

Combine the potatoes and 2 tablespoons taco seasoning. Press into a greased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate; set aside.
In a skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the beans, barbecue sauce, water and remaining taco seasoning. Cook and stir until hot and bubbly. Spoon into potato crust.
Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until heated through. Top with lettuce, tomato, cheese and sour cream.
