Cook over low heat, stirring until the meat is no longer pink, then cover and simmer for 45 minutes.

Mash 3 medium potatoes after cooking them.

Mix the mashed potatoes with the meat mixture and let it cool before adding to the pie.

Roll out a double crust for a 9-inch pie pan.

Place the pie in the oven for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 30 minutes, covering with foil if necessary to prevent over-browning.
