LAURIE'S SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

• Meanwhile, crumble the ground beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and bell pepper. Cook and stir until beef is browned; drain excess fat.
• Place the beef and onion mixture into the bottom of the pie shell, pour the cream-style corn over it. Spread mashed potatoes to cover the top of the pie.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the pie crust and potatoes are golden brown.
