I use 1lb of groud pork, garlic, onion and lots of seasoning all cooked together and put that down first. Then layer 1 can of creamed and 1 can whole kernel over that. I used to top it off with buttery potatoes but we switched to tater tots and cheese. I cook the tots in the oven while I prep the meat. Like them up to cover the entire pie, sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top and bake. We haven't gone back to potatoes yet.
