Taco Pie
A Surprisingly Delicious Dish!
Savor the Southwestern flavors with my tantalizing Taco Pie! It features a delightful twist of Jiffy corn mix as the base.
When you think about a savory pie, you might imagine the meat pies of England. Well I’m here to tell you we have some great savory pies in the states as well. This Taco Pie is a Tex Mex delight that will pleasantly surprise your guests.
It has layers of seasoned ground beef, zesty salsa, and cheddar cheese all on a golden, buttery Jiffy cornbread base. This makes for a mouthwatering meal that’s as easy to make as it is delicious to devour.
This Taco Pie is sure to become a family favorite for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. Get ready to dive into a slice of comfort with every bite!
Food brings comfort to many in difficult situations. It helps people who are suffering by nourishing them and taking a chore off their list when just breathing seems impossible.
If people have friends and family that are suffering, food gives them something to do in order to try and bring comfort to people they care about while they’re struggling.
Recent events in my own life had me thinking about these subjects and are the reason for this Taco Pie recipe. It seemed like a comforting dish that was simple, inexpensive, easy to heat up and would keep well for a few days.
This Taco Pie isn’t only for sad times, of course. It also makes a great weeknight meal, potluck dish, and simple supper for Halloween night.

I like to make that clear share not everyone is familiar with or doesn’t have access to the same ingredients. I love using this Jiffy Corn Muffin mix because it is so affordable and easy to keep on hand for last minute recipe ideas like this one.
The tomatoes I use have some spice, but are not “burn your mouth spicy”.
