Taco pie, also known as the "Impossible Pie," is one of those weeknight dinners that was popular when I was growing up. Moms loved it because it stretched a pound of ground beef into a filling meal, and kids loved piling on their favorite taco toppings. It's still one of those dependable recipes I keep coming back to wheny dinner ever I need an easthat everyone will eat. I made a few tweaks to the classic recipe make it even better.
It is a perfect meal for busy weeknights or Taco Tuesday. I hope your family loves it as much as mine does. Enjoy! Xoxo -Katie.

Cooking tips
- Don't overfill the meat. 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.
- Don't skip draining the beef.
- Let the pie rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
- Bake on the center rack.
Topping Suggestions
This taco pie is delicious as is, however, you can add your favorite taco toppings.
Some topping suggestions include: sour cream, lettuce, tomato, green onions, black olives, salsa, guacamole, taco sauce, red onion, hot peppers, pico de gallo, and cilantro.
