Get creative with toppings! Try sliced black olives, pickled jalapeños, crushed tortilla chips, or a drizzle of guacamole.
The ground beef provides a significant amount of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function. Protein also contributes to a feeling of fullness, which can help with appetite control.
Beef is an excellent source of heme iron, a type of iron that is easily absorbed by the body. Iron is crucial for creating red blood cells that transport oxygen, helping to prevent fatigue and maintain energy levels.
Taco Pie is a hearty and satisfying comfort food. While it's high in protein, it can also be high in sodium and saturated fat. To make it healthier, use extra-lean ground beef or ground turkey, opt for a low-sodium taco seasoning, and load up on fresh vegetable toppings like lettuce and tomatoes.

You can prepare the beef filling up to 2 days in advance and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you're ready to eat, simply assemble the pie with the cold filling and bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Yes, you can freeze Taco Pie. It's best to freeze it after baking and cooling completely. Wrap the entire pie or individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in a 350°F (175°C) oven until warmed through.
Taco Pie is a complete meal on its own, but it pairs well with a simple side salad, Mexican rice, or a side of refried beans.
