Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 package refrigerated pie crust
• 1 cup refried beans
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 0.25 cup sliced black olives
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon jalapeño peppers, sliced (optional)
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a deep-dish pie pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the taco seasoning mix and 1/4 cup of water to the cooked ground beef. Stir to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Unroll the refrigerated pie crust and press it into the prepared pie pan, making sure it covers the bottom and sides evenly.

Step 5

Spread the refried beans evenly over the bottom of the pie crust, creating the first layer.

Step 6

Add the seasoned ground beef as the second layer, spreading it evenly over the refried beans.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded Mexican blend cheese over the ground beef layer.

Step 8

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes.

Step 10

Spread the sour cream evenly over the top of the pie as the next layer.

Step 11

Top with diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, sliced black olives, green onions, and jalapeño peppers (if using).

Step 12

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese on top as a finishing touch.

Step 13

Slice the taco pie into wedges and serve warm. Optionally, add extra sour cream or salsa on the side as garnish.
