This is a fun & flavorful supper!

This pie is loaded with refried beans, beef, rice, sauce, & cheese! Topped with crunchy Fritos & you have dinner!

1, Nine Inch Pie Crust use my recipe or use a bought frozen crust!

CRUST:

2 Cups Flour

1 TSP. Salt

1/3 Cup Butter

1/3 Cup Shortening

4 to 5 TBS Cold Water

Mix all dry together, cut in butter & shortening to make fine crumbs. Stir in the water just until you get a ball of dough. Roll out on a floured surface & keep the dough slightly thicker than you would for a dessert pie. Line your 9 inch deep pie pan with the dough. Trim & flute the edges! Now make the filling!

FILLING:

1&1/2 up to 2 pounds of lean ground beef

1 Onion Chopped

1 Packet of Old El Paso Taco Seasonings use the amount of heat that you like, we like it mild!

2 Cups Cooked White Rice

1 Can Refried Beans

2 Cups of Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese

1 Jar Old El Paso Taco Sauce

2 Cups Slightly Crushed Fritos

Sour Cream to Dollop

Brown burger with the onion, Add the Taco Seasonings with the amount of water as directed on the package. Stir & cook as package directs. Now stir in the rice. Remove from heat. In the pie shell spread the can of beans evenly in the bottom & half way up the sides of the shell. Spoon meat mixture over the beans. Pour the Taco Sauce over the meat mixture. Now spread the cheese over the top. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Now spread the crushed Fritos over the top & return to the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven & let the pie sit for 10 minutes before serving to give the pie time to set up! Slice & serve with dollops of sour cream as desired! We had this with a nice salad & it was delicious!
