Name: Tex-Mex Pie, Lhj
Ingredients: 1 lb Ground beef; 1 c Thick and chunky salsa; 15 oz Refrigerated piecrusts; 1 c Shredded cheddar cheese

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit ( Proverbs 26:4-5 , KJV)... Both statements are true, and are to be taken seriously. In the first proverb, we are taught that we ought not respond to a fool on his level, we ought not to allow ourselves to be brought down to the level of a fool by answering him as foolishly as he has spoken. On the other hand, we are to answer the fool in a way that gives him no dignity, no satisfaction, lest he take himself too seriously. A fool is to be deal with as a fool, but we should not be made fools also in the process.

NOTES :  In England, they're called meat pasties; in Argentina, empanadas.
Here's our all-American favorite--a savory beef pie with a kick encased in
a flaky crust. For more fire, use a hotter salsa.
