Recipe Tips

Bisquick taco pie is quick, easy, and a tasty twist on a taco!

Meat. Lean ground beef doesn’t produce as much excess oil as a fattier mix. If you use 80/20 or 70/30 be sure to drain the oil otherwise you will end up with an oily taco soup.

You can use ground chicken or ground turkey in place of the ground beef.

Taco seasoning. Whip up your own Taco Seasoning Mix using ingredients you probably already have in your pantry like chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, oregano paprika, ground cumin, black pepper, and salt.

Serving suggestions. A slice of taco pie casserole can be eaten alone or with some other delicious Mexican sides such as Refried Beans, Tortilla Chips and Salsa, Spanish Rice, and Mexican Street Corn. 

Gluten-free. There is a gluten-free Bisquick mix that you can use for the biscuit layer.

Storing Tips

STORE. Keep easy taco pie recipe in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 4-5 days. Larger portions can be reheated in the oven and smaller portions in the microwave.

FREEZE. Store leftovers for later. Cover tightly and freeze for up to 3 months.
