This easy taco pie recipe can be even faster to make if you do a little prep work ahead of time. Keep leftover cooked ground meat in your freezer, so it’s handy when you need it.

The day before you plan to make this taco pie recipe or that morning, cut up your lettuce and tomatoes and grate your cheese (or even easier– buy grated cheese).

Then, when it is time for dinner, all you have to do it toss all of the ingredients into the pie pan. The baking time is so short that by the time you change your clothes, set the table and check the mail, it will be ready to eat.

Tips:

From Jennifer: When I have leftover Taco meat, I put it in a container in the freezer. Over about a months time, I will have accrued enough frozen Taco meat to make a big pot of 30 minute Chili….Yum!! My husband loves this chili and doesn’t even realize he is eating leftovers…
From DD: I bought some Sloppy Joes (cans) on sale. No one in my family cares much for Sloppy Joes, so I added it to spaghetti sauce. Surprisingly, it was quite good and there were no complaints. 🙂
Pour your leftover chili over a bar of softened cream cheese for a quick and easy dip. Serve with chips or crackers. Use this quick snack idea when you’re watching a game on TV or use it as an after school or evening snack.
