TASTY TACO PIE

Yum. Easy to make. It was too hot(spicy) for my daughter so next time I make it, I'll use plain Velvetta and DH can spice up his portion with Tabasco. This is a recipe from my church's recipe book, submitted by Cynthia Y-K. I thought, after the game was over(go figure), that this would've been a good dish to make for Super Bowl Sunday.

Time 35m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground beef
1 package taco seasoning mix
1 (8 ounce) can Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls
1 cup shredded lettuce
1/2 cup chopped tomato
2 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce
1/2 lb Velveeta Mexican cheese

Steps:

  • Brown meat.

  • Cover crust with meat mixture.
  • Cut the cheese into slices, distribute them on top of the meat mixture, and continue baking until cheese melts.
  • Top with lettuce and tomato.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef: Opt for lean ground beef with a fat content of 80/20 or 90/10 for a healthier and tastier taco pie.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the ground beef, cook it in batches to prevent steaming and ensure even browning.
  • Use a flavorful taco seasoning: Homemade taco seasoning is easy to make and offers more control over the flavor profile compared to store-bought options.
  • Layer the pie properly: Start with a layer of tortilla chips, then add the seasoned beef, beans, corn, and cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used up.
  • Bake until bubbly: Bake the taco pie in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are slightly browned.
  • Garnish before serving: Top the taco pie with your favorite garnishes such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
