Easy Taco Pie takes all the things we love about tacos and puts them in a quick biscuit crust. Ground beef, cheese, Pico de Gallo and a bit of sour cream if you like. Part of #OurFamilyTable salute to Pi Day!

I used Bisquick mix for the crust but you can use and mix you like or homemade batter.

An 8-inch cast iron pan worked perfectly for my version of this recipe. You can use a casserole dish too if you like.

Precooking the beef ensures it’s totally cooked when put in the shell. I like to melt shredded Colby and Jack cheese on top.

Pico adds fresh lime to brighten the dish. I like sour cream with lime zest to top it off. Hot sauce works too. Even chipotle!

Keep the bottom crust layer thin. Biscuit dough tends to really puff up. Check it about halfway through the bake cycle and remove a bit of dough if it seems too thick.

Servings 8

Ingredients

crust

2 1/4 cups baking mix (I used Bisquick)
2/3 cup milk

filling

1 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon taco seasoning
1 cup shredded cheese (I used a jack, colby combo)

Pico de Gallo

1/2 cup diced plum tomatoes
1/4 cup diced red onion
juice and zest from 1 lime
Kosher salt to taste

optional garnish

sour cream, hot sauce, chipotle peppers

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425. Mix together baking mix and milk. Gently press a thin layer of baking mix into an 8-inch cast iron pan. Bake 8 to 12 minutes until crust is set and golden brown. Check about halfway through and remove excess dough if necessary to thoroughly bake.
While crust bakes, prepare filling. Cook beef and seasoning in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat until thoroughly cooked. Add meat to baked crust. Top with cheese. Return to oven for about 5 minutes until thoroughly heated and cheese melts.
Prepare pico. Add all pico ingredients together in a small bowl. Stir and allow to set to blend flavors. Top cooked taco pie with pico and garnish with sour cream, zest, hot sauce, chipotle peppers if desired.

Enjoy all these fun ways to celebrate Pi Day from Our Family Table!
