Tomato and Corn Pie

INGREDIENTS
1   recipe basic pie dough from this Blog
1   tablespoon olive oil
½  pound ground beef
1   medium onion, chopped
1   can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes
1   package (16 ounces) frozen corn, defrosted, rinsed, drained
1   small can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1   tablespoon dried basil
1   tablespoon all-purpose flour
½   cup sour cream

METHOD
Preheat the oven to 375 F. Using half of the pie dough, roll it out until it is large enough to cover a 9 inch pie pan with at least ½  inch extra. Set aside. Reserve the other half for another dish.

In a large skillet or sauce pan, add the olive oil and the ground beef. Cook the beef while breaking it up into small pieces, for about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chopped onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring it into the ground beef.

Add the diced tomatoes, corn, tomato sauce and basil, Stir and cook this mixture until most of the liquid has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the flour and sour cream and mix well. Cook for 1 to 2 more minutes and pour the mixture into a 9 inch pie dish. Cover with the reserved pie dough, cutting off any extra. .and make four slits in the crust. Bake until the crust is golden, about 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on a rack before serving.

Cooks Notes: To modify this dish, add jalapeno peppers and chili powder for a Southwest flavor or cumin, coriander and lemon juice for a North African flavor or add whatever you wish for a different flavor profile.
