Boil potatoes in lightly salted water until soft, drain.

Brown ground beef with onions and peppers. Drain fat
and put ground beef mixture in bottom of casserole
dish.
Mix creamed corn and whole kernel corn and spread
over beef.
Spread the mashed potatoes across the top to form a
'crust'. Lightly sprinkle with paprika, and salt/pepper to
taste, and make tracks with a fork, if desired.

Bake the potato until done, 30 - 45 minutes in a preheated 400 degrees F
(205 degrees C) oven. Peel and mash the potato.
Place the potato, ground pork, onion, spices and water in a large frying
pan and simmer until very thick, for about one hour.
Meanwhile, prepare your pastry.
Line a deep-dish pie plate with pastry. Spoon in filling, spreading evenly.
Cover with top crust.
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with paprika, if desired. Cut steam
vent. Bake for 50 minutes at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). If edges
brown too fast, cover with a strip of foil. Serve warm.
Notes, tips, and variations
Mix 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese with potatoes, or
place shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top of potatoes
before cooking.

Directions
Pea soup remains a popular dish in restaurants where tourists enjoy a true
taste of old Quebec. In some variations, a little garlic, leeks, other vegetables
or a ham bone are added for flavour. For a thicker consistency (though this is
not traditional) a cup or two of cooked peas can be pureed then returned to
the soup.
Wash and sort peas; soak in cold water overnight.
Steps
1.
2.
Ingredients:
1 pound peas, dried
8 cups water
½ pound salt pork (all in one piece)
1 each onion (large, chopped)
½ cup celery
¼ cup carrots grated
¼ cup parsley leaves (freshed, chopped)
1 each bay leaf
1 teaspoon savory (dried)
salt and black pepper to taste
In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
Add the carrots, the Spanish onion, the spices and the
beef cubes.
Cover and let simmer for 2 hours.
Next, add the green and yellow beans, the turnip, the
potatoes and the cabbage.
Continue to cook for 1-1/2 hours.
Drain and place in a large pot; add water, parsley, salt pork, onion, celery,
carrots, parsley, bay leaf, savory and 1 tsp salt.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until peas are very tender, about 2
hours, adding more water if needed.
Remove salt pork; chop and return to soup. Discard bay leaf. Season to taste
with salt and pepper.
