Notes

  • Be sure to get a deep dish pie shell; if you've got the regular size, you'll have to make two pies and put half the ingredients in each. 
  • This deep dish taco pie uses a frozen pie crust. Use a homemade pie crust if you desire.  Be sure to pre-cook the frozen pie crust according to the instructions in the recipe.
  • To make a lower fat version of taco pie with pie crust and refried beans, use ground turkey, low fat sour cream and fat-free refried beans.
  • Use crushed tortilla chips, nachos or Fritos.
  • Substitute Colby Jack or Monterrey Jack cheese for cheddar, if desired.
  • For a spicy taco pie, use hot taco sauce instead of mild.
