Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 0.5 cup water
• 1 can refried beans
• 1 cup salsa
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1 package refrigerated pie crust
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup sliced black olives
• 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
• 0.25 cup chopped green onions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water according to the packet instructions. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Set aside.

Step 4

Roll out the refrigerated pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Press the crust into the bottom and sides of the dish, trimming any excess overhang.

Step 5

Spread the refried beans evenly over the bottom of the crust.

Step 6

Layer the seasoned ground beef over the beans, and then spread the salsa evenly on top of the beef layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese over the salsa layer, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese for topping after baking.

Step 8

Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Step 10

Spread the sour cream in a thin layer over the top of the pie, and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.

Step 11

Garnish the pie with black olives, diced tomatoes, and chopped green onions.

Step 12

Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Taco Fiesta Pie!
