DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake pie crusts following package directions, but cutting the bake time in half.
In a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until evenly brown; drain excess fat.
Place half the refried beans in each pie shell, smearing over the bottom and the sides of the partially baked shells. Spread a layer of ground meat over the beans, and top with the onion, crushed tortilla chips, and cheese.
Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is bubbly. Top with lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and black olives.

As is this would be a two or even a one, but it is a five if you season it. I find it hard to believe that there can be a recipe with no seasonings in it. Any way, after the beef was almost cooked I drained the fat and added chopped onion and cooked until the onion was softened. I added a packet of reduced sodium taco seasoning and a little water so the mixture wouldn't be dry. I did bake the pie shell for the full 15 minutes it called for. If you add the beans into the hot shell it it easier to spread and you wont have the tearing. I added the cheese then the chips on top this prevented the cheese from overcooking. When it was done I topped the pie with olives diced red onion and taco sauce. I served homemade guac. and sour cream on the side. The whole family loved it and they want me to make it again.

A great base for a recipe but, like many before me have said, it needs tweaking. I used taco seasoning in the beef. I added the refried beans, some green peppers, the onion, a little cumin and garlic to the beef and simmered it for a while. Some of the reviews said that the crust was soggy so I just baked it according the directions on package instead of baking it half way like the recipe called for. I was prepared to put foil on the edges to prevent burning if necessary but it wasn't. I layered the beef/bean mixture on the crust and mixed in some grated cheddar,next I added a thin layer of salsa (very thin). It seemed that it might have been bland without it. Next came the crushed chips and more cheese and then I baked it until the cheese melted. My kids loved it. My picky 3 year old, my 7 year old who hates beans (he didn't know they were in the beef) and my 9 year old who hates cheese. They all asked for seconds.Thanks Carole for a new family favorite.

Well, it was alright. I took out the beans, my hisband doesn't like them, and I added salsa.

I thought this recipe could definitely be improved upon by using taco seasoning, cooking the onions, and adding salsa and jack cheese.

The meat was a little bland so I added taco seasoning mix and taco sauce. This spiced it up a bit.

I loved this recipe. I made a few changes. I baked the pie crust through as directed on package. When I browned the ground beef, I added salsa to it for flavor. I topped the pie as directed, and it was a great twist for the everyday taco!

Ehhh. Didn't do much for me. I love tacos and taco salads...but this was kinda blah. As usual, I spiced it up big time (cumin, cilantro, chili powder, onions, garlic, etc.)...I guess what was really missing was the "crunch" that you get from taco chips/shells. The crust made the whole thing a little too mushy for my liking. Next time, I'll stick to the traditional tacos! Very creative recipe tho!
