Imagine those meals that Mom used to make that you still would drive to see your to get. For me, that’s this Taco Pie recipe. It was a staple in your house for the obvious reasons. It’s easy to make, the kids eat it and it’s delicious! There’s just something about that flaky crescent roll crust.

Why this Recipe Works!
- Uses crescent rolls for a crust – hello? Easy and pure deliciousness with that signature flaky crust!
- It’s cheesy, meaty and amazing!
- It’s quick to make – perfect weeknight meal!
- Tastes like a taco but only better because you’re not assembling all those tacos and the kids can eat it easier!
Ingredients Needed
- Hamburger – We use a 80/20 ground beef, just make sure to drain off the grease after browning.
- Crescent rolls – Grab the store bought kind and make it easy!
- Taco seasoning – Use a packet from the store or make your own.
- Sour cream
- Cheddar Cheese – Grab the block of cheese and great it yourself for the best “meltability”!
- Crushed chips – We prefer Nacho Cheese Doritos, but Fritos or any corn chip would work.
- Optional garnish, sliced green onions
Steps To Prepare
- Prep –
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the pie dish and set aside.
- Brown Hamburger – In a skillet over medium heat brown hamburger and drain off grease. Add taco seasoning, water and simmer until water is gone.
- Assemble Pie – Place the crescent rolls in the pie pan with the narrow tip pointed towards the middle. Flatten to cover the bottom. On top of the crescent rolls add the hamburger mixture. The layer with sour cream, cheese and crushed chips.
- Bake – Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Garnish with sliced green onions if desired.
More Topping Ideas!
Here’s a few more optional ingredients you could toss into this recipe to give it other flavors.
- Add chopped onions to the ground beef when you are browning it.
- Add a layer of refried beans.
- Sprinkle lettuce and tomatoes on the top after it cooks.
Tips for Leftovers!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
To reheat the pie return it to an oven preheat to 350 degrees. Make sure it’s in an oven proof pan. Heat for 20-30 minutes or until it is hot and bubbly! Microwaving the pie will make the crust soggy.

I love to read and try new recipes. You have some of the most interesting recipes I’ve ever read or tried. You use ordinary pantry items. But make the recipe delicious and challenging to cook. You’ve never published one that was not a success. Thanks
Sarah Hill says
Thanks so much! I’m so glad you have enjoyed trying our recipes! Thanks for sharing and rating!

Thanks for this delicious, mouth watering recipe. Will be making it soon.

A fave here too, my Mom made it for us growing up! Thanks for commenting and rating the recipe!

This sounds delicious, Julie, however, I have a son who is a #1 diabetic and the carbs in this pie are terrible for him. The bad part is that he used to eat all this until they removed his pancreas. So now he still wants it. If you can think of something very similar but without so many carbs we’ll all be happy. Thank you for all your delicious recipes!!! Just a side note that Mr. Tortilla has some with 1 carb.

This will be something I will have to look into! If you type “healthy” into the search bar a blog post with 50 healthy meals pops up! Maybe there is a few on there you can try too!

Easier than tacos, this was so good! We packed up leftovers for lunches on day two and loved those too!!

Please, fix the “print” button so the 2nd sheet with the nutrition doesn’t print. Let it be an option, please???
I get two pages, one with the recipe, followed by a separate page with only nutrition printed on it. I do NOT want one page of nutrition…. LOVE the recipe, very well received here from whole family.
Julie Evink says
When you print you can simply select print 1 page. Some people want the nutrition facts. Not real hard to do that!
Melissa Howell says
Yes! You hooked me! I have got to try this pie! (And I love that you can use crescent rolls and don’t have to make an actual pie crust!)
Julie Evink says
I can’t make a regular pie crust to save my life!
