Cheesy Taco Pie

After I've had a long day at work, or just a busy day, cooking is the last thing on my mind. Today was one of those days. I needed something quick for dinner and this is what I came up with and it's delicious!



Ingredients

  • 2 ready to bake 9-inch pie crusts
  • 1 lb. of ground turkey (or beef if you prefer)
  • 1 Tbsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped onions
  • 1 16 oz. can of re-fried beans
  • 1 10 oz. can of diced tomatoes and green chilies
  • 3 cups of shredded cheddar/jack cheese 


Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 13 in x 9 in baking pan by placing the pie crust the length of the entire pan. (There may be a bit left.) Season the meat with the cumin, black pepper, and onions and cook until browned. In a separate skillet, while the meat is cooking, heat the re-fried beans until warm. Spread the re-fried beans onto the prepared pie crust first and then top with the cooked meat. Layer the diced tomatoes and green chilies and then top with the cheese. Cook for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. This taco pie can be enjoyed with extra toppings such as lettuce or sour cream, however, it's delicious as it is prepared. Enjoy!
