Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ pound ground turkey
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 ½ cups tortilla chips
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package crescent roll dough (8 ounces)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Meat Mixture:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and ground turkey along with the finely chopped onion. Stir occasionally until the meat is browned and the onion is tender. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Once cooked, drain any excess fat.
-
Season and Simmer:
- Stir in 1 cup of tomato sauce and your favorite taco seasoning to the meat mixture. Increase the heat and bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 5 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
-
Prepare the Pie Crust:
- While the meat mixture is simmering, take a package of crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate. Place the dough triangles into the plate with the points facing toward the center. Gently press the dough onto the bottom and up the sides of the plate to form a crust. Pinch the edges together to seal.
-
Assemble the Pie:
- Sprinkle 1 cup of crushed tortilla chips evenly over the prepared dough crust. Spoon the cooked meat mixture over the chips, spreading it out evenly. Next, carefully spread 1 cup of sour cream over the meat layer. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and then sprinkle the remaining tortilla chips on top.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust turns a golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it stand for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the layers to set and makes serving easier.
