Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. You can also swap the Bisquick for a gluten-free baking mix if needed. If you prefer a spicier kick, add diced jalapenos to the beef mixture or toss in some crushed red pepper flakes. For a fresh twist, serve with a side of guacamole or a dollop of sour cream.
Serving Suggestions
This taco pie is perfect for a casual family dinner or game day gathering. Serve it with a side of Mrs. D'S Taco Salad for a refreshing crunch, or pair it with tortilla chips and salsa for a complete meal. For drinks, consider serving margaritas or a light Mexican beer to complement the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover taco pie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make taco pie ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the taco pie ahead of time by assembling it and refrigerating it before baking. Just be sure to bake it within 24 hours for the best results. If you want to freeze it, bake it first, cool completely, and then wrap tightly to freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen at 350°F (175°C).
What can I use instead of taco seasoning?
If you don't have taco seasoning on hand, you can make your own by mixing chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. This allows you to customize the spice level to your taste. You can also use any other spice blends you enjoy, such as fajita seasoning, for a different flavor profile.
Can I add vegetables to the filling?
Absolutely! Bell peppers, corn, or black beans can be great additions to the filling, adding both flavor and nutrition. Just sauté them with the onions and ground beef to ensure they are cooked through before assembling the pie. This also enhances the texture and adds a pop of color to your dish.
