Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 unit refrigerated pie crust
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 cup black beans
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1.5 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with butter or cooking spray.
Unroll the refrigerated pie crust and press it into the pie dish, trimming any excess dough from the edges. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir the taco seasoning mix into the ground beef, along with 1/4 cup of water. Cook for another 2 minutes until the seasoning is well incorporated.
Add the black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes with green chilies (do not drain) to the skillet. Stir to combine and let simmer for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese and the sour cream. Mix well until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.
Spoon the beef mixture evenly into the prepared pie crust.
Top the pie with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, before slicing and serving.
Serve warm with additional sour cream or salsa on the side, if preferred.
