IN 15 to 20 minutes the onion just won't be cooked. Add it to the ground beef and cook it on top of the stove. This really needs some seasoning: pre-packaged taco seasoning is even better than nothing. I personally don't like the pre-packaged mixes, but you can make your own: cumin, oregano, chili powder, maybe some red pepper flakes for heat, salt, pepper, perhaps a little garlic added to the ground beef (only good the garlic a couple of minutes, however, or it will be bitter. This is a basic recipe that needs help.

I listened to the reviewers who said to cook the pie crust the entire time (instead of half) and it turned out a little too crispy. The shell flaked apart and made it very messy to eat. It was also a little dry. We added lots of sour cream and salsa. My husband and daughter both liked this, and we had leftovers to share with my dad. I will make it again because it has a good taste and was inexpensive for a huge amount of food. I will just make sure it doesn't turn out as dry next time. I also sauteed the onions and mixed them in with the hamburger instead of putting them on top of it.

If I make this again I will definitely not use pie crust. We didn't think it tasted right at all. Using corn tortillas at the bottom would probably taste a lot better.

This was the biggest hit with my family in a ong time. I have 4 kids and they all wanted thirds! This looks as if it takes hours but only takes minutes. So quick and easy.

meat too dry. I suggest adding spices or taco sauce to the meat while cooking.

My family loved these. Even my husband, who is not a taco fan, came back for seconds. I did only make one pie and used the entire 1 lb of meat. I also took other reviewers suggestions and added taco seasoning to the meat. I will be making these again and will make 2 next time, but will increase the meat to 2 lbs so that I have 1 lb per pie.

This is a great recipe, but, as others have said, needs seasoning. I made taco meat using a packaged seasoning mix and that made the difference. Also added salsa on top. Baking the crust partway is important, otherwise it will get soggy. A keeper!
