Taco Pie
Last week we actually tried a second recipe from Taste of Home 2002, before moving on to the next cookbook, since it was right there on the same spread as the Sausage Spinach Turnovers and it looked interesting. I used my usual pie crust recipe, though, instead of theirs. The recipe makes two pies, but I halved it since one is plenty for us for a few meals. One pie only used a half pound of ground beef. There is a lot of other stuff like mushrooms, spinach, beans and tomatoes, so it is pretty filling even with the minimal amount of meat. We thought it could use a little more taco flavor, though. Verdict: Make at least one more time.
My friend once brought a Taco Pie when she visited me. Of course she shared the recipe, and it has become one of my favorites since then. Now, I would usually make it for the kids to bring over to Granny’s farm. Naturally, Granny loves it, too! :)
that is beautiful! What was Anna’s response?
Anna like the pie crust best, of course. :) But she ate some of the filling too.
