Made this for a picnic today and it was a real hit. Had a lot of people ask for a recipe and no left-overs. This is one of my favorites.-
This looks like a recipe pie keeper....I'm sure it tastes as good as it looks...:)3-
This looks so good! I am always on the lookout for tasty appetizers for a buffet table, and I think this one will work just fine, if, instead of the potato pie crust, I use the unsweetened tart shells that I have on hand for the mini quiche that I usually make (and am thoroughly tired of making). Thanks for sharing this!2-
Have not tried this yet, but will. My husband doesn't care for taco because of the mess. But he loves shepherds pie so I'm sure he will like this!!!-

Taco Pie is so easy and quick to make. I added a can of black beans (drained and rinse) to the meat mixture to stretch it a little more. A perfect Cinco de Mayo dinner.4-

Not only does this look delicious, but its easy! Can't wait to try it1
This was very delicious although I added my special touches to it. I added more salsa to the ground beef mixture since to me it seemed a little dry and extra cheese. I think when I make again I will make a cornbread crust.-

I'm having my daughters and there families for dinner tonight. I like to prepare things a head of time. My rice cooked and placed in crock pot will turn on warm 2 hours prior. Beans cooked mashed and in foil pan with cheese and cover. Will place in oven 20 minutes prior. I have make 3 taco pied so mashed potato crust made and placed in foil pie dishes, meat mixture ready and in bowl. Lettuce tomatoes cheese salsa and sour cream ready in foil containers. Table set. I can now finish my curtains I am making. Dinner ready and no mess, if no left overs which I doubt there will be throw pans away and no mess. I added all this if anyone interested in no mess dinners. My family is looking forward to this dinner and will let you know how it went over ( which I am sure it will be YUMMY2
I made the pie, I used leftover potatoes they were not crunchier even after baking, the meat part was good. I am going to try using crunched up taco shells we,ll see.-
Made this last nite. Delicious. I used leftover butter/garlic mashed potatoes (homemade) so didn't add any seasoning to those. Used the whole taco seasoning pkg. in the meat. Topped with refried beans and some cheese, baked, then added more cheese when we served with lettuce and tomatoes. Easy recipe too. What more could you ask for?
Looks super delicious
