Nacho Pie
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes | Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles, drained
- 3 cups tortilla chips, slightly crushed, divided
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup salsa, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven. Heat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish.
- Brown the beef. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink, about 7–8 minutes. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and water; simmer 2 minutes until thickened.
- Layer the base. Press 2 cups of the crushed tortilla chips into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared dish. Spread the refried beans evenly over the chips.
- Add the beef layer. Spoon the seasoned ground beef over the beans and spread evenly. Top with the drained diced tomatoes and green chiles.
- Add cheese. Sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheese over the top. Scatter the remaining 1 cup of chips over the cheese.
- Bake. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the top in the last 5 minutes of baking.
- Top and serve. Remove from the oven and dollop with sour cream. Scatter sliced black olives and green onions over the top. Serve immediately with salsa on the side.
