Why I Love This Recipe
My husband and I love this pie and if we're really hungry can eat it all ourselves ...it's that good!
Ingredients You'll Need
CRUST
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter (1stick)
1/4 cup ice water ..as needed
MEAT FILLING
1 1/2 pound Ground Beef
1 small onion,diced
salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons McCormick Mexican Season
1 pkg. Taco Seasoning mix
1/4 cup water
1 cup Salsa, hot or mild
small can refried beans
1 1/2 cups Mexican Cheese Blend
shredded lettuce
diced tomatoes
sour cream
Directions
CRUST
In a bowl add flour, cornmeal,and salt; mix together. Add buttter and with a pastry blender, cut in butter until it resembles large crumbs. Add Ice water a little at a time. Roll into a ball and chill until needed...no longer than an hour. When it's time to use, roll out on floured surface and place in pie dish; crimp edges.
MEAT FILLING
In a skillet brown ground beef and onion until done: Drain off any fat. Add salt,pepper, Mexican seasoning, Taco Seasoning, water and salsa. Cook on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Meat Filling should be thick. Let set a few minutes to cool slightly: then add 1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend. Meantime,take the crust you have made and add the refried beans to the bottom of the crust add 1/4 cup of your Mexican cheese. Add the cooled meat Filling and top off with the remaining 3/4 cup of Mexican cheese. Bake in a 350* oven for 30 minutes or until crust looks done. Top with your favorite toppings of lettuce, tomato and sour cream. I also make a side of Mexican rice for a complete meal.
Oh soooo good!
