Lo! I have discovered another recipe for Tamale Pie, and it sounds like it has the two things I need in a pie recipe – ease and tastiness.
“My family has enjoyed it, and it is easy to make.”
Hey, who am I to argue with that in-depth reporting?

This recipe for Fast Taco Pie includes the following instruction:
Arrange the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and sour cream in concentric circles (one inside the next) on top of the beef mixture and serve immediately.
Question: pie is indeed more delicious if you eat it right out of the oven rather than reheat it later. Are there any tips or tricks for getting that fresh out of the oven experience back, say, 24 hours in a refrigerator later?

From the Today Show website comes an article about meaty dishes, like this roasted garlic shepherd’s pie (scroll down past the inferior non-pie recipe to find the shepherdy goodness). Excerpt:
Add hot cream mixture to potatoes, add seasoning, add roast garlic puree and mix all together thoroughly. Adjust seasoning as needed.
In a heavy bottomed stock pot sweat the onions, garlic, shallots, ground lamb and the filet until all thoroughly golden brown, about 10 minutes.
Drooooool…

For The Winter Festival of Pie this year (which happens tonight!) I’ve made not one but two Hamburger Pies. The original recipe called for Spam Pie, which sounded funnier but not as fun to eat perhaps. For each Hamburger Pie, I used two containers of Pillsbury Garlic Crescent rolls, a pound of ground beef (I split the difference health-wise and went with 85% fat free), a half a package of Kraft Colby & Monterey Jack cheese crumbles, and an eighth of a large white onion. One container of the Pillsbury Garlic Crescent rolls made the bottom and side crust, the other made the top layer after the contents were in. I browned the beef, let it cool a tad, mixed in the cheese crumbles and onion, and put it all into the crust. After the pie was all set, I stuck it in a 325 degree oven for a little more than 20 minutes.
I’ll post before and after pictures and reactions after the event this evening.
