PIE CRUST
1 c All-purpose flour

1. Fry bacon until crisp; break into large pieces.

vegetable shortening instead.

pepper, tomato sauce and half the mild green chiles. Keep warm while
preparing pie crust.

4. CRUST: Combine 1 cup flour and 2 tablespoons cornmeal. Cut in bacon
drippings with two knives or pastry blender until mixture is the size
of small peas. Sprinkle 3-4 tablespoons water over mixture; stir with
fork until dough holds together. Form into a ball and flatten to 1/2
inch thick. Keep edges smooth. Roll out on a floured surface to a
diameter 1-1/2 inch larger than inverted 9-inch pie plate. Fit into
pie plate and fold edges to form a rim, then flute edges.

5. Place the ground beef mixture into pie crust. Bake in preheated
425-degree oven for 25 minutes.

sauce, half the sliced olives, 2 tablespoons mild green chiles and

remaining olives. Bake for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and
bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
