I had to use up some leftover chili, so I heated that up and also added some ground beef that I cooked up with taco seasoning to add in. I made 2 pies with doubling all the ingredients to use my leftover chili. It turned out great. Oh yeah, I did not use olives or chips either. Good stuff! Thanks Christine!

The beauty and innovation of this recipe is in the crescent roll crust, which I have never seen before, typically old tortillas or crushed tortillas are used. I used low-fat crescent roll dough, it was delicious. Because my family will not eat olives, I added a layer of sauteed onion, green pepper and hominy on top of the meat. I split the low fat sour cream between the meat and the corn layer. It came out great,"wonderful," according to husband. Will use this recipe on a fairly regular basis. Thanks for a great idea!

My oldest son helped me throw this together at the last minute with leftover Boilermaker Tailgate Chili. Quick and didn't need to be in the oven that long. I served it with chopped veggies (tomatoes,lettuce, more olives, green onion),2% shredded cheese and my Zesty Ranch Dip. It was a little dry, but you couldn't really notice when you added a dollop of dip. Good use of chili that's different from your usual leftover chili recipes.

Yummy & EASY! I took some tips from other reviewers and mixed 1/2 the sour cream in with the meat(my hubby hates sour cream but he never notices when I use it this way) along with a little(about 1/4 cup) shredded cheese. I also added about 1/3 cup medium salsa for a little spice. This will be going in the I-dont-know-what-to-make-and-need-something-quick-and-easy folder!

This is my husbands NEW favorite food! I asked him what he wanted for dinner for his birthday. Expecting something difficult and to be in the kitchen for hours, I was surprised when he said taco pie! We make taco pie at least once a week. Thanks!

This recipe was awsome. The only thing I did different was add a can of diced tomatoes in with the beef before I placed it on top of the crescent rolls and chips. YUMMY!! No leftovers with this dish. Even my 2 yr old liked it!!!

Thanks for this wonderful recipe! We had an afterschool function to get to quickly, and I had no time to waste- this dinner was done very quickly. Also, my picky kids loved it and had seconds! I did arrange the dough a little differently, though...I put the dough "pointy side" out to form a sunburst pattern, then pulled the tips over the meat mixture- so it kind of enclosed it a little more.

I have to give this recipe a 5 star rating because my husband ate the entire pie in one sitting..minus the piece and a half that I was allowed. Ha Ha. I will be making this again..but I will Pam the bottom of the pie pan next time because the crescent rolls were stuck on and hard to remove! Thank you for this recipe!

I LOVED this, but next time will leave sour cream out to serve separately as my hubby doesn't like it. YUM - didn't make any changes.

My sons and husband enjoyed this recipe a lot!! My "few changes" were - I added 2 tsp of Minced Onion (dried spice) and 2 tsp hot sauce while I was browning the hamburger. I stirred in 4 oz (1/2c) sour cream into the hamburger after it was drained, instead of doing a layer and I used less too (can't even taste it, just added moisture). I also folded in an extra 8 oz of shredded mexican blend cheese with the hamburger. (Extra cheese, in addition to the recommended layer) Crushed doritos as others recommended,on both the bottom and the top. I skipped the olives and served those alond with chunky salsa, shredded lettuce, and the remainder of the sour cream I had bought! Enjoy!!

Good, quick and easy, but just a little dry. I think the amount of sour cream should probably be doubled. I served it with shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes and hubby had seconds. Thanks for the recipe!

This was really good. I used Taco seasoning I by Bill Echols and a mexican blend of cheeses. Easy, quick to assemble, and had great flavor too. Neither son nor hubby cared much for crescent roll crust, but I liked it. I served this with a green salad and this made a great meal for a weeknight! Thanks, we decided we'll eat this one again.

We didn't think it was fabulous. The crescent roll taste added a different sweet flavor to the Mexican flavor, so that was nice. Good because it was very easy. The tortilla chips got kind of rubbery after baking and I had a problem with the crust getting brown on top, but was really raw on the bottom. Also, it didn't stay together AT ALL when we cut into it. Very messy because it fell apart all over the place. It was just so-so in my opinion.
