Instructions

Taco Meat

Brown and crumble ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Drain well in a colander. (See Tip 5)
Return drained ground beef to the skillet over medium heat. Add taco seasoning Rotel tomatoes, and water. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes.
Remove the cover; add Velveeta cheese. Replace the cover and cook until the cheese has melted, about five minutes. If desired, add cornmeal to thicken the mixture.

Bisquick Custard

Whisk together milk and eggs. Add Bisquick; whisk until well combined.

Taco Pie

Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 9-inch pie plate with non-stick spray.
Transfer taco meat to the prepared pie plate. Smooth out the surface. Pour on Bisquick custard, being careful not to overfill. (See Tip 5)
Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and top with shredded cheese. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven. Allow to cool for five minutes. Garnish with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream. (See Tip 6)
Yield: Six servings. (See Tip 7)

Notes

I used 90% ground beef in this recipe. You can substitute ground turkey, ground chicken, or ground pork for the ground beef.
I like to use my Homemade Taco Seasoning. You could also use store-bought, but will need one and a half packages.
If you're using a shallow pie plate, consider reducing the amount of milk to ¾ cup. Otherwise, you may not be able to use all of the custard.
I used extra sharp cheddar cheese that I shredded myself. You could also use pre-shredded cheese in this recipe. In this recipe, you could also substitute Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, Pepper Jack, or Colby cheese for the cheddar cheese.
Depending on the depth of your pie plate, you may not be able to use all of the custard without the mixture overfilling the pie plate.
Other garnishes include salsa, guacamole, sliced olives, green onions, jalapeños, and crushed corn chips.
Leftovers if any can be reheated in the microwave.
