Recipe Preparation
COMMENTS: The large quantity of potatoes and modest amount of
seasonning seems to reduce the beef flavor. We vote for a little less

Heat oil in large, heavy duty frying pan and brown beef and onion.
Stir in potatoes, allspice, cinnamon, garlic salt, salt and pepper.
Preheat oven to 400'F.. Line two 9-inch pie pans with pastry. Using
