Kosher salt
1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes

Cover loosely with foil and bake until the cheese melts, about 10 minutes.

SOUTHWESTERN TACO POT PIE



Southwestern Taco Pot Pie image

Ground beef, peppers, corn, onions and cheeses all snuggled up like a pot pie between two crusts!Barry Conway submitted this winning entry to Emeril's Pie Contest. I watched him make this the other night and decided to try it. It's easy to see why this pie was a winner! It is just oustanding and a snap to put together. A great family meal, I would suggest a guacamole salad on the side. Watch the cook time! I only baked for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prep veggies in advance: Dicing and chopping all your vegetables beforehand will save you time and stress while you're cooking.
  • Use a quality chili seasoning: The chili seasoning is what gives this pot pie its flavor, so don't skimp on it. Look for a blend that has a good balance of spices, including chili powder, cumin, and paprika.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken can quickly become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Let the pot pie cool slightly before serving: This will give the filling time to set and the crust time to firm up.

Conclusion:

This Southwest Taco Pot Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's packed with flavor, thanks to the chili seasoning, corn, black beans, and salsa. The creamy sour cream and fluffy cornbread topping add the perfect finishing touches. Give this recipe a try next time you're looking for a quick and satisfying meal.
