["Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease and flour a 9"" or 10"" pie pan (not deep dish) or spray w/non stick cooking spray.", "Crust:", "Combine the crust ingredients, stir until blended, batter will be lumpy.", "Pour into prepared pie dish. Spread batter thinly to within 1/4 inch of the rim - sometimes it likes to slide down, adding the filling will push it back up some.", "Filling:", "Brown the beef and chopped onion together then drain.", "Stir in all the other ingredients, mix well then spoon into crust.", "Bake for 20-30 minutes.", "Let cool for few minutes, serve with your favorite toppings.", "Note: The original recipe called for buttermilk, or plain yougurt, or sour half and half, I misread it the first time I made it and used sour cream, it worked so it's what I had always used, but I finally tried it with buttermilk and it was great."]
