Mexican Meat Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 pie crusts
    1 lb ground beef
    1 cup onion, chopped
    1/2 green pepper, chopped
    8 ounces tomato sauce
    1 teaspoon oregano
    hot spices
    salt
Preparation
    Brown beef with onion and pepper in a skillet.
    Pour off fat.
    Stir in tomato sauce, salt, oregano, and hot spices, if desired.
    Simmer 10 minutes.
    Place meat mixture in pie shell.
    Place top crust, seal, and prick.
    Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned.
    Alternate:
    Leave off top crust and top after cooking with shredded cheese like cheddar or Monterey Jack.
    Would probably be excellent with cumin instead of the oregano, but I haven't tried this yet.
