Variations: You can use a bought piecrust if so desired. Also this is a good way to use leftover mash potatoes. We love to make mash potatoes with hot pepper cheese. This would be very good on top of the meat mixture. Just add about 8 oz. of cubed hot pepper cheese in your potatoes when you are mashing them. Just use your imagination.
