Ingredients:
- 1 lb hamburger
- 1 onion, diced
- 1/2 green pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup frozen corn kernels
- 3/4 cup canned corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons salsa
- 1 envelope taco seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 can sliced olives
- 1 package pie crust pastry (divided)
Instructions:
-
Brown the Hamburger: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the hamburger and diced onion until the meat is no longer pink and the onions are translucent. Drain off any excess fat.
-
Add Vegetables: To the skillet, add the chopped green pepper, frozen corn kernels, and jalapeños, stirring to combine.
-
Seasoning: Sprinkle in the envelope of taco seasoning, following the instructions on the package for the amount of water needed. Allow the mixture to simmer until it thickens slightly.
-
Incorporate Salsa: Stir in the salsa until it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture, adding an extra kick of flavor.
-
Prepare the Pie: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a pie plate with half of the pie crust pastry, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides evenly.
-
Layering: Pour the prepared hamburger mixture into the pastry-lined pie plate, spreading it out evenly. Top the mixture with the shredded cheese and sliced olives for an extra burst of flavor and color.
-
Cover and Seal: Carefully place the remaining half of the pie crust pastry on top of the pie filling. Seal the edges by pressing them together firmly.
-
Ventilation: To allow steam to escape during baking, cut several slits into the top crust using a sharp knife, creating a decorative pattern if desired.
-
Bake: Place the assembled pie into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove the Taste of Mexico Pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream for an extra touch of authenticity and indulgence.
With its savory meat filling, flavorful blend of vegetables, and gooey melted cheese, this Taste of Mexico Pie is sure to become a new family favorite, perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions when you crave a taste of south-of-the-border goodness! 🎉🥳
