  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 can 8 oz crescent roll dough
  • 1 can 16 oz refried beans

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cook the Ground Beef:
  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is soft.
  • Drain any excess fat.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  • Prepare the Crust:
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust. Be sure to seal any perforations in the dough.
  • Layer the Ingredients:
  • Spread the refried beans evenly over the crescent roll crust.
  • Top with the seasoned ground beef mixture.
  • Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese and half of the shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the beef.
  • Spoon the salsa over the cheese layer.
  • Bake:
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Add the Toppings:
  • Remove the pie from the oven and sprinkle the crushed tortilla chips over the top.
  • Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese over the chips.
  • Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve:
  • Allow the taco pie to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Top with sour cream, sliced black olives, chopped green onions, and fresh cilantro if desired.
