Barbecued Beef Pie With Cornbread Topping

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is just a plain and easy down-home cooking recipe that's so easy to put together. I have even made this recipe using cooked mashed potatoes on top, instead of the cornbread mix, and baked this in a deep dish pie plate, instead of a square baking dish, all the seasonings can be adjusted to suit taste."
