instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.


In large skillet, cook ground beef, onion, green pepper, salt and pepper over medium heat until beef is no longer pink; drain well.


Stir in salsa, corn, olives and cheese. Line ungreased pie pan with one pie crust; fill with beef mixture.

Roll out remaining pie crust on lightly floured surface.

Using mini metal cutters, cut out assorted shapes; brush each with pesto, barbecue sauce, yellow mustard or ketchup.

Place pastry shapes over beef mixture in pan.

Bake 20-25 minutes or until filling is heated through and crust is golden brown.

If leaves were baked separately, add to top of baked pie and serve.
