Taco Pot Pie Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Brown your ground beef. Drain and add taco seasoning. Add the onions and cook until almost tender.
Add the bell pepper, frozen corn, beans, and Rotel. Cook until everything is hot.
Stir in the grated cheese.
Place one pie crust in a deep dish pie pan. Scoop in the filling and top with the second crust. Crimp the edges and make several slashes in the top of the pie.
Put pie on a baking sheet (in case anything leaks out) and bake for 40-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown. You may need to put foil around the edge of the crust if it gets too dark.
