- Make mashed potatoes using the 10 potatoes. I boiled my potatoes, drain and then mash wtih butter and milk to a smooth consistency.
- While the potatoes are cooking, brown the ground beef until thoroughly cooked. Drain and rinse off grease.
- Grease a casserole or baking dish with butter or spray with Pam.
- Once potatoes are mashed, line the bottom and sides of the casserole dish with a little under 2/3 of the potatoes. Make it look like a crust.
- Mix together the ground beef and creamed corn. Pour into the casserole as the filling.
- Top the filling with the remaining mashed potatoes, spreading to the sides and having it meet the "crust".
- Bake in a 400 degree oven until the top is lightly browned - about 30 to 45 minutes.

- Use a sharp knife to cut the vegetables into uniform pieces, which will help them cook evenly.
- Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
- Use a pre-made pie crust to save time, or make your own crust from scratch using a simple recipe.
- Be sure to preheat the oven before baking the pie, as this will help the crust to cook evenly.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving, as this will help it to set.
