A delicious and easy-to-make Cheesy Taco Pie combining a flaky crescent roll crust with seasoned ground beef, crunchy corn chips, and melted cheddar cheese for a perfect weeknight dinner or casual gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 tube crescent rolls

Filling

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 2 cups corn chips (like Fritos)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Chopped lettuce
  • Diced tomato
  • Avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the crust and the assembled pie.
  2. Prepare Crust: Press the crescent roll dough into the bottom of a greased pie dish or a 9×9 inch baking pan, ensuring it covers the base evenly. Bake for 7–8 minutes until the crust is lightly golden and partially cooked.
  3. Cook Beef: While the crust bakes, brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Once cooked through, drain excess fat, stir in the taco seasoning along with a splash of water, and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to blend flavors well.
  4. Assemble Layers: Spread the sour cream evenly over the baked crescent crust. Then, layer the corn chips on top of the sour cream, followed by the seasoned taco beef, and finally sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  5. Bake Pie: Return the pie to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted, is bubbly, and slightly golden.
  6. Add Toppings: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly before adding optional fresh toppings like chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, or avocado slices for added freshness and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier pie, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
  • Use a mix of cheeses like Monterey Jack and cheddar for extra flavor.
  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner protein option.
  • Serve with salsa or guacamole on the side.
  • To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free crescent roll dough if available.
