Taco Pie

 Need a quick dinner idea?  Taco pie is a winner.  It's filled with ground beef seasoned with traditional Tex-Mex seasonings and spices on top of a buttery fluffy crust.  Top it with cheese and your choice of optional toppings.

1 (8 oz) package refrigerated crescent rolls

1 lb ground beef

1 (1oz) package taco seasoning mix

8 oz Mexican-style cheese blend, shredded

** Optional Toppings **

Sour cream

Shredded lettuce

Diced tomatoes

Green onions

Avocado

Black olives

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Cover a round or square cake pan or pie plate with the crescent dough flat on the bottom.  Bake according to package instructions.

While your crust is baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high on the stove-top.  Cook the ground beef until it's no longer pink.  Season with salt and pepper.  Add the taco seasoning, stirring to combine.

When the crust is done baking, add the beef to the crust and layer with the cheese.  

Place the pie back in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

Slice and top with toppings of your choice.
