You don’t have to wait till Tuesday to enjoy a flavorsome Taco Pie made with “JIFFY” Corn Muffin Mix.
Yields: Two 9″ pies
Preheat oven to 400°F.
For crust, combine muffin mix and flour. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles small peas. Add water one tablespoon at a time. Stir with fork until moist and dough holds together.
Divide dough in half and form into two balls. On floured surface, roll out making about 1” larger than inverted pie pans.
Place crusts in ungreased pans; prick bottoms and sides with fork. Trim and shape edges. Bake 10 – 12 minutes.
For filling, brown ground beef and onion; drain. Add taco seasoning and salsa. Blend well.
Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese into a pie crust. Spoon half of meat mixture over cheese. Spread half of beans over meat.
Top each with remaining cheese. Bake for an additional 5 – 8 minutes or until cheese melts. Top with lettuce and tomatoes. Serve with sour cream and salsa (optional).
