Simmer mixture uncovered over medium high heat until it thickens up slightly. Taste for seasoning, adding salt & pepper if necessary. Layer in 2-qt casserole, beginning with the meat mixture. Then add the corn and chiles mixture, ending with the mashed potatoes spread over the top. (Can refrigerate at this stage if desired. If so, allow longer bake time if starting cold). Bake covered at 350 for 35-40 minute until bubbly. Uncover and add the cheese and bake 10-15 minute more until all melted. (May put under low broiler if desired to get the cheese crusty). Serves 4.

Dot with pieces of butter. Cover with the top crust, and flute the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top crust to vent steam. Place on a cookie sheet that has been lined with aluminum foil for easy clean up.

Toss until dough comes together in moist clumps, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Shape dough into disk. Wrap; chill at least 30 minutes.

Roll out dough to 12-inch round. Peel off top parchment. Using bottom parchment as aid, turn dough over into prepared pie dish. Carefully peel off remaining parchment. Fit crust into dish, sealing any tears. Fold excess dough under and crimp edges, forming highstanding rim. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.
