BEEF AND BEAN PIE
We made this all the time when I was growing up. It originally came from the Pillsbury bake off book from the 1970's I think. We lost it for several years and I emailed the company and they sent it to me. It was one of my brother's favorite meals and when he came back from serving the Army in Iraq, we fixed it for him as a surprise. We never used the Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls like the recipe called for but would put it in a pie crust. Also, we left off the American cheese.

If you are looking to try something different -- here's your chance. This is very filling -- and left overs are GREAT. Although the recipe lists several things to top the "pie" with -- be creative and add whatever sounds good to you.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Prepare all ingredients and have them measured and ready before you start cooking. This will make the cooking process smoother and more efficient.
- Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
- Brown the Beef Thoroughly: Browning the beef adds flavor and depth to the dish. Be sure to brown the beef in a hot pan and cook it until it is no longer pink in the center.
- Use a Variety of Vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini.
- Season the Dish Well: Don't be afraid to add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or thyme.
- Don't Overcook the Beef: The beef should be cooked until it is tender, but not overcooked. Overcooked beef will be tough and chewy.
- Let the Pie Cool Before Serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
