Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
1 (1.25-ounce) package Taco Seasoning Mix
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon oil
1 (1-pound) package frozen green, red and yellow peppers and onions*
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 (11-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
1/2 cup salsa
1 (15-ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on package
8 ounces (2 cups) shredded cheese recommended: Colby/Monterey blend or Mexican blend

Garnish:

Sour cream
Taco Sauce

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Brown ground beef in large skillet over medium-high heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until thoroughly cooked, stirring frequently. Drain. Add taco seasoning mix and water; mix until ground beef is well coated.

Meanwhile, heat oil in large saucepan over medium high heat until hot. Add peppers and onions; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and drain excess liquid. Add garlic and onion powders, salt, pepper, corn, and salsa, stir well and set aside.

Prepare pie crusts as directed on package for 2-crust pie using 9-inch glass or metal pie pan.

Combine salsa and corn mixture with ground beef; mix well. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of cheese evenly in bottom of crust-lined pan. Spread 1/2 of beef mixture evenly in pan over cheese, pat down. Sprinkle 3/4 cup cheese in pan and spread evenly with remaining beef mixture, pat down, top with remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Top with second crust and flute; slit in several places.

Bake for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cover edge of crust with strips of foil or a pie crust shield after 15 minutes of baking. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Store in refrigerator.

Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a drizzle of taco sauce. Also recommended: guacamole, salsa, and diced green chiles.

* If using fresh peppers and onions, use 1 1/2 cups chopped onions and 2 1/2 cups chopped peppers and increase prep time and stove top cooking time.

Better than I expected
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Both my husband and myself looked at each other "wide eyed" after the first bite of this wonderful pie. It was way better... than we imagined it would taste. I'd give it 10 stars.Read more

This recipe is the BUSINESS!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Loved, loved, loved it! I made a few changes/additions...used taco flavored ground turkey for a healthier alternative,... added black beans, chopped jalapeno peppers, and a can of diced tomatoes w/green chilles to the mixture.....so good and filling! The crust comes out nice and flaky and this is good w/ sour cream or avocado/guacamole. For a side dish I made some coleslaw with chopped cilantro, tsp of mayo, vinegar, salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. It gave a nice fresh kick to the meal. My husband was not at all excited about a taco pie, but after the first bite he was sold! I will be making this again and again! Read more

highly recommend
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Used 2 fresh peppers (1 yellow + 1 orange as I think green and red can be overpowering) and 1/2 white onion chopped vice... frozen veggies. Garlic salt vs garlic and onion powder. Garnished with sour cream. Divided into 2 pies instead of 1 pot pie and froze the 2nd pie for later this month. Served a simple spinach salad on the side. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed and will definitely be adding this simple dish to our "staple recipes."Read more
