LATTICE-TOPPED OVEN STEW
prep 25 minutes bake 20 minutes at 400°F
Go old-school and serve meat and potatoes made easy with such convenience items as frozen vegetables and refrigerated potatoes and piecrust.
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Let refrigerated piecrust stand according to package directions. Unfold piecrust. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut piecrust into ½- to 1-inch-wide strips. Brush strips lightly with water. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
2. In a large skillet cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain off fat. In a large bowl stir together meat and the remaining ingredients. Spoon into an ungreased 3-qt. rectangular baking dish. Carefully arrange piecrust strips in a lattice pattern on top of meat mixture.
3. Bake, uncovered, 20 to 25 minutes or until heated through and piecrust is golden.
