Jack-O-Lantern Pot Pie

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, pressed
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 package (15 ounce) refrigerated pie crust
1 tablespoon mustard
3 cups shredded cheese, or cheese of choice
2 tablespoons water
1 large egg
red and yellow liquid food coloring

Procedure:

Cook the ground beef, onion, garlic, salt and pepper in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir until beef is cooked through and crumbly. Stir in ketchup and Worcestershire sauce; cool. Unfold 1 pie crust and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Spread mustard evenly over crust. Stir 2 cups of cheese into meat mixture and spoon onto the center of the crust, leaving a 2 inch border around the edge. Unfold the remaining pie crust and cut a jack-o-lantern face into it. Place the cut out crust on top of the meat mixture. Crimp all edges of the crust to seal. Using cut out pieces of crust, create a “stem” for the top of the pumpkin. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of water, egg and 1 drop of red and yellow food coloring; brush over the entire crust. Bake at 425° for 20 minutes, remove from oven and brush again with the egg mixture. Fill eyes, nose and mouth with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake 5-10 more minutes or until golden brown.
