Paranormal Pie

Instead of working on my word count for NaNo, I'm procrastinating this morning. It's cool, gray and damp outside, making me think of the winter days ahead. And that, of course, brought to mind comfort food. So, I thought I'd share a hearty recipe. I'll call it Paranormal Pie to stay with my blog theme (but you might know it better as Aussie Pie!).

1. 1 lb ground beef
