Ingredients
~ 1/4 cup each chopped onion, green pepper and sweet red pepper ~ 2 garlic cloves, minced ~ 1 tablespoon vegetable oil ~ 3 cups cubed cooked roast beef ~ 2 cups frozen cubed hash brown potatoes ~ 1 can (10¾ ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted ~ 1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn ~ 1 jar (4½ ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained ~ 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce ~ 1/8 teaspoon salt ~ Dash pepper
Onion Pastry: ~ 2½ cups all-purpose flour ~ 1¼ teaspoons salt ~ 1 cup butter-flavored shortening ~ 4 teaspoons grated onion ~ 4 to 5 tablespoons cold water
Directions
1) In a large skillet, saute the onion, peppers and garlic in oil for 3 minutes. Stir in the beef, potatoes, soup, corn, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
2) For pastry, combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until crumbly; sprinkle with onion. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.
3) Divide dough in half so that one ball is slightly larger than the other. On a lightly floured surface, roll out larger ball to fit a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate.
4) Transfer pastry to plate; trim even with edge. Add filling. Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie; place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edges. Cut slits in top.
5) Bake at 375° for 45-50 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting.
