"My 12 year old daughter Deidra brought the basic recipe home from an after-school cooking class and I jazzed it up a bit! If you can't find a deep-dish pie crust, use 2 regular ones."
1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake empty pie shell for 10 minutes.
2In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned, stirring occasionally to crumble; drain fat. Stir in hot dogs, beans, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, taco seasoning, and cheese cubes. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
3Spread beef mixture into baked pie shell. Cut American cheese slices into strips, and make a lattice on top of pie.
4Bake for 5 to 10 minute, or until cheese is slightly melted.
