Servings: 8
Cost: $15.62, $1.95 per Servings
Ingredients
- 9 inch premade pie crust refrigerator section
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ white onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced (or 2 tsp minced garlic)
- 1 packet of taco seasoning
- ½ cup salsa
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded colby jack cheese
- optional toppings:
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 2 roma tomatoes diced
- 1 small can sliced black olives 2.25 oz
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roll out 1 9-inch premade pie crust and press it into a pie pan. If needed, trim off the excess around the edges. Poke the bottom of the pie crust with a fork 15 to 20 times to prevent air bubbles. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the pie crust is light and golden brown.
- Meanwhile, cook 1 pound ground beef and ½ white onion, chopped, in a large skillet over medium heat until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are translucent.
- Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, or 2 teaspoons minced garlic, and 1 packet taco seasoning. Stir to combine.
- Add ½ cup salsa, ½ cup sour cream, and 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese. Stir to combine until the cheese is melted.
- Once the pie crust is cooked, add the ground beef mixture to the crust and evenly spread out.
- Turn down the oven to 350 degrees.
- Top the taco pie with the remaining 1 cup shredded colby jack cheese. Bake uncovered for 12 to 16 minutes or until the cheese is melted and starts to bubble around the edges.
- Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Cut like you would a regular pie. Serve with ½ cup sour cream, 2 cups shredded lettuce, 2 diced roma tomatoes, and 1 small can sliced black olives (2.25 ounces) on top, if desired.

Notes
I like to put the sour cream, and tomatoes on top of the pie. However, if you plan on storing leftovers, only put the lettuce and tomatoes on the pieces you are eating, because lettuce will not store great on top.
You can add in a can of black beans - make sure to drain and rinse. Add them in when you stir in the sour cream, salsa, and cheese.
If you can't find a premade pie crust, you can use crescent rolls rolled out instead.
