Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 0.3333 cup water
- 2 large eggs
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 store-bought pie crust, unbaked
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup salsa
- optional toppings: sour cream, lettuce, diced tomatoes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the seasoning is fully incorporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing it evenly into the bottom and sides.
Spread the cooled beef mixture evenly at the bottom of the pie crust.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture, spreading it evenly.
Pour the egg and milk mixture over the cheese layer carefully to avoid spilling.
Place the pie pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.
Remove the taco pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with salsa and any optional toppings like sour cream, shredded lettuce, or diced tomatoes.
To freeze, wrap the baked and cooled pie tightly in aluminum foil and place in a resealable freezer bag or container. Label with the date and freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-40 minutes or until heated through.
