Ever since she had Taco Pie at a friend's house, Kendall has been asking me to make if for supper. I'm very glad she kept badgering me, because it was delicious and easy. If you've ever made tacos, you can easily make Taco Pie. (Seriously, a monkey could do it.) Here's how....
Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup water
1 pkg. taco seasoning (we like Ortega)
1 pkg. Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
1 1/2 cup Fritos Corn Chips, broken up
8 oz. cheddar cheese, grated
8 oz. sour cream
Lettuce and tomatoes for serving
First, prepare the meat per package directions (that's what the water is for).
While the meet is cooking, open the crescent rolls and arrange them like this in a pie pan...

Use your fingers to spread the pieces until you have formed a hole-free crust.

Next, take a tomato and place it in the middle of the crust.

Only kidding! (I was in a silly mood.) Take 3/4 of the Fritos and sprinkle them over the crust.

Top with the taco meat...

Then, the sour cream...


And the cheese....

Finally, top with the remaining Fritos...

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. (I baked mine an extra five because you have to add time when baking with stoneware.)
Meanwhile, prepare the sides (the sour cream turned out to be unnecessary, but it's in the pic, so you'll just have to suck it up, sorry.)

Forgot to take pics of the finished product until it was half gone!

Voila!

Sorry about some of the blurry photos; I don't know what I did wrong. Fortunately, I did everything else
right; this was a big hit!
Oh I have got to try this...Tacos are a weekly meal for us...it's one of the few things my DS will eat...BUT, I do make him an egg pizza on croisants with cheese...so he might like this too!!
