Taco Pie

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup butter
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 package taco seasoning
• 2 1/2 cups mashed potato flakes (you can also used leftover mashed potatoes and omit adding butter and milk later)
• 1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/2 cup salsa
• 1 cup shredded lettuce
• 1 medium tomato, chopped
• Sour cream, optional

Directions:

• In a medium saucepan, melt butter
• Add milk and 2 TBSP taco seasoning.
• Remove from heat and add potato flakes until well incorporated
• Press mixture into the bottom of a 10-inch pan.
• Bake at 350 for 2-10 minutes until it just barely turns brown
• In a medium skillet, cook beef and onions until beef is browned and cooked through.
• Drain. Add salsa and remaining taco seasoning.
• Cook until bubbly
• Pour into crust and bake for 15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
• Let cool for 5 minutes
• Top with cheese, lettuce, sour cream, and tomatoes

Notes: I added guacamole as a topping and had to add a little water to the meat mixture to incorporate all the taco seasoning. Very simple and easy - also a very filling meal
