This looks so good! I am always on the lookout for tasty appetizers for a buffet table, and I think this one will work just fine, if, instead of the potato pie crust, I use the unsweetened tart shells that I have on hand for the mini quiche that I usually make (and am thoroughly tired of making). Thanks for sharing this!This is a variation2 people like this review

Taco Pie is so easy and quick to make. I added a can of black beans (drained and rinse) to the meat mixture to stretch it a little more. A perfect Cinco de Mayo dinner.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!This is a variation4 people like this review-

This was very delicious although I added my special touches to it. I added more salsa to the ground beef mixture since to me it seemed a little dry and extra cheese. I think when I make again I will make a cornbread crust.7 repliesI've cooked/tasted this recipe!3 people like this review

I'm having my daughters and there families for dinner tonight. I like to prepare things a head of time. My rice cooked and placed in crock pot will turn on warm 2 hours prior. Beans cooked mashed and in foil pan with cheese and cover. Will place in oven 20 minutes prior. I have make 3 taco pied so mashed potato crust made and placed in foil pie dishes, meat mixture ready and in bowl. Lettuce tomatoes cheese salsa and sour cream ready in foil containers. Table set. I can now finish my curtains I am making. Dinner ready and no mess, if no left overs which I doubt there will be throw pans away and no mess. I added all this if anyone interested in no mess dinners. My family is looking forward to this dinner and will let you know how it went over ( which I am sure it will be YUMMYI've cooked/tasted this recipe!2 people like this review

Made this last nite. Delicious. I used leftover butter/garlic mashed potatoes (homemade) so didn't add any seasoning to those. Used the whole taco seasoning pkg. in the meat. Topped with refried beans and some cheese, baked, then added more cheese when we served with lettuce and tomatoes. Easy recipe too. What more could you ask for?I've cooked/tasted this recipe!This is a variation

- March 29, 2017I particularly like it when someone takes one of my recipes and makes it their own by adding things they like and exchanging things they don't like with something else. I've tried most of the variations cited in the reviews and really like them. But I still don't like spoiled cream.
July 13, 2014Spoiled cream... LOL!!! But I do like spoiled cream :) so I will definitely try it. Genius... potato crust.... love it!!!!
December 28, 2013I don't cook much, but this looks too good to pass up....I MUST try it !
