What’s in this Taco Pie Recipe?
All the best parts of beef tacos are layered into an easy-to-make casserole pie that’ll be on the table in under an hour!
Ground Beef: I like to use 85% lean for a good balance of flavor. Make sure to drain the excess fat to prevent your pie from turning out greasy! Onion: You can use any kind of onion you like. I used white onion, but yellow or red are also delish! Taco Seasoning: Adds classic taco flavor. You’ll need a 1-ounce packet. Tomato Sauce: Keeps the filling moist. You can use homemade tomato sauce if you prefer, although I recommend leaving out the basil. Crescent Roll Dough: Forms the crust of this pie. You’ll need one tube! Tortilla Chips: Crush them up and nix them in to add a bit of crunch. Sour Cream: Adds creaminess and a delicious tang. Cheese: I like cheddar cheese, but Monterey jack or Mexican blend will also work.
Pro Tip: Make sure to press the seams of the crescent dough together to avoid leaking!
Variations on Crescent Roll Taco Pie
It’s so easy to modify this taco pie recipe. For a healthier version, swap out the ground beef for ground chicken or turkey. You can use a traditional pie crust instead of crescent roll dough. And don’t be shy when thinking about layering! You can add a layer of refried beans, guacamole, or pico de gallo to your pie to beef it up.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover taco pie in an airtight container, or cover the pie pan with plastic wrap, and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave in 30-second increments until warmed through, or in a 350°F oven for about 7-10 minutes.
How to Freeze
Freeze crescent roll taco pie rightly wrapped in 2 layers of plastic wrap and 1 layer of aluminum foil for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in a 350°F oven for about 20 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
Taco pie is a filling and flavorful dish that can be served on its own as a complete meal, but if you’re looking to add some variety to your menu or serve a larger crowd, there are several sides and accompaniments that pair well with it. A chopped salad, Mexican rice and refried beans, easy guacamole, restaurant-style salsa, or street corn would all be delicious.
