Taco Pie

Put a simple spin on Taco Tuesdays! This Taco Pie is filling and extremely tasty!

1.5-2 lbs. ground beef or ground turkey
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 can Rotel (undrained)
Shredded Cheddar cheese
2 refrigerated pie crusts (I get Great Value crusts that had 2 per box $2.67)
For Garnish if desired: Shredded lettuce, diced onion, diced tomato, sour cream, salsa

1. Brown the ground beef or turkey. Drain off excess grease and return to skillet. Add the envelope of taco seasoning and can of Rotel. You may need to add a little water to help dissolve the taco seasoning. You want a slightly damp consistency. But, NOT runny! Too watery will hinder the cooking of your crust.
2. While you are heating the meat mixture get your 9"x12" casserole dish and preheat the oven according to pie crust package directions. Roll out one pie crust and place it in the bottom of the dish. You may need to roll it a little to help it fit up the sides of your dish.
3. Pour meat mixture into casserole dish on top of the bottom pie crust. Smooth mixture flat. Top with shredded cheese.
4. Place second pie crust onto the top and gently push flat onto cheese and meat mixture. Press crust to sides of your casserole dish and pinch if needed. Cut a few slits into the top of crust so steam can escape.
5. Bake according to pie crust package directions. You want the top to be slightly golden brown.
6. Once you take the Taco Pie from the oven let it cool for about 10 minutes before you slice it. Top with the garnishes of your choice and ENJOY!!
