This taco pie recipe is a hearty main dish made with taco seasoned ground beef, green chiles, loads of cheese, and an easy Bisquick pie shell.
Top with your favorite toppings and serve with a tasty side for a delicious meal that everyone in the family will love.
This taco pie is also known as the legendary "Impossible Pie," because it is so easy, quick, tasty, and inexpensive to make.
However, I added a few tweaks to the recipe make it even better.

Ingredients
You will need the following ingredients to make this Taco Pie recipe:
- ground beef- You can substitute with ground chicken, ground pork, or ground turkey.
- taco seasoning mix
- canned green chiles with their liquid-Mild or hot based on your preference.
- freshly shredded cheddar cheese-Substitute with Monterey Jack cheese if you want it spicier.
- Bisquick
- milk-I use whole milk, but low fat and skim milk will work for the recipe also.
- eggs
Note:
Some pre-packages of meat will have more than 1 pound of meat. However, cooking more than one pound of meat in this recipe will mess up the finished pie shell result. I suggest only cooking 1 pound and saving the remaining meat for something else.

- Cook ground beef and onion. Mix in taco seasoning.
