Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up chunks of meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Add the remainder of the ingredients except the black olives for the garnish. Stir well. Using a slotted spoon, spoon the mixture into the potato shell. Garnish the top with the saved potato slices and top each with an olive half.

Allow the pie to stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.
