Preheat the oven to 425°F. While it's heating, place the pie crust in a deep 9-inch pie dish. Poke a bunch of holes in the crust using a fork to prevent bubbling, then pre-bake the crust for 7 minutes.
Pie crust
While the pie crust pre-bakes, place the ground beef and burger seasoning in a large skillet and brown the beef.
1.5 lb. Ground beef, 3 Tablespoons Burger seasoning
Add the can of tomatoes and chilies. Cook for another 2 minutes and drain the liquid. Alternative: Keep cooking the beef and tomatoes together until the liquid has significantly reduced and is thick and saucy, and leave it in.
1 can Diced tomatoes and green chilies
Add the ground beef mixture to the baked pie crust, and top with the prepared mashed potatoes in a smooth layer. Sprinkle on the salt and pepper, then top the entire thing with plenty of shredded cheese.
8 oz Cheddar cheese, 2 cups Mashed potatoes, Salt and pepper
Place in the oven and bake another 10 minutes, until heated through, melted, and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, top with fresh tomato slices, and serve!
1 medium Tomato

If you don't have leftover mashed potatoes, you can use Instant mashed potatoes. They don't have the same texture, but will work in a pinch!

Make this pie ahead of time as a make-ahead recipe! Just fully assemble it, cheese included, then wrap the pie dish with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator. Bake for an extra 10 minutes once ready to serve, and enjoy!

This pie can be assembled and frozen for later! Fully assemble the pie, then wrap it tightly in foil and freeze for up to 3 months. To bake, place frozen in the oven with the foil still on and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake another 5 minutes, until bubbly and melted.

This is a great recipe for hidden veggies! Add in finely diced veggies like broccoli, potatoes, or cauliflower to the ground beef mixture. They'll disappear into the pie, making it the perfect dinner for picky kids. And of course, you can't go wrong pairing it with french fries!
