Equipment

  • 1 large pan
  • 1 9" pie pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning find my homemeade version here
  • 1/2 c water
  • 1/2 c frozen corn
  • 1/2 c black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 can refrigerated crescent rolls get the original version, not big and flakey as it will make the dough too thick and may not cook evenly
  • 1 c shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a large pan. brown 1lb of lean ground beef and drain. Add taco seasoning and 2/3 cup of water. Simmer a few minutes on medium heat.
  • Stir in 1/2 c of frozen corn and 1/2 c of black beans.
  • In a 9" pie pan, use your fingers to spread out the crescent rolls along the bottom of the pan. Do not grease the pan. There is plenty of butter in the crescent roll dough so it will not stick.
  • Separate some of the dough and use it for the sides of the pan. Use your fingers to pinch the rolls together to form an even pie crust along the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan. It doesn't need to be pretty, just as even as you can get it.
  • Pour the meat mixture into the pie pan on top of the uncooked pie crust.
  • Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 16-18 minutes or until pie crust is golden.
  • Cut into slices and serve with your favorite taco toppings like sour cream, salsa, diced avocado, etc.
