Beef Pot Pie Recipe

I was craving a beef pot pie recipe. I just wasn’t feeling it. Of course, seeing Taco Bell commercials while writing recipe posts may have influenced me to create a taco pie instead of a ground beef pot pie.

Taco Pie

Why did I want to make a taco pie instead of a chicken pot pie? Truth is I wanted to make something different for comfort food recipes. Plus beef casserole is something I knew I could make since I have ground beef in my freezer.

Mexican Pie

Those taco bell commercials really intensified my craving for a Mexican pie. So why not take that beef pot pie recipe and turn it into a taco pie? A Mexican pie would be a great way to combine a pot pie recipe with taco flavoring!

Pot Pie Recipe

I know when you think of a pot pie recipe, normally a chicken pot pie recipe is what comes to mind. Many do not think of a beef pot pie recipe for the classic comfort food recipes. Giving a taco flavor to beef pot pie recipe would stand out in the sea of chicken pot pie recipes.

Mexican Casserole

You could say this is a Mexican casserole only with a pie crust! Plus for this taco pie, you can play with the flavor. I like my pot pie recipe mild, but you could really up the heat on this beef pot pie recipe by choosing to add jalapenos and hot salsa to the filling.

Comfort Food Recipes

This taco pie was exactly what I was going for. It is a beef pot pie recipe but as a Mexican casserole. This taco pie is perfect for Taco Tuesday! Plus it is a great addition to comfort food recipes as well!
