Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Place the unbaked pie crust in a pie dish if not already done and poke the bottom with a fork.
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat and drain excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning, dried minced onion, water, and salsa; simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened.
Remove from heat and fold in half of the cheese.
Spread the refried beans in a single layer at the bottom of the pie crust.
Top with the cooked beef mixture followed by crushed tortilla chips or Fritos, and the remaining cheese.
Bake for 25–30 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Add taco garnishes if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute ground beef with black beans or lentils.
Let the pie cool before slicing to ensure clean cuts for serving.
Feel free to customize garnishes to your taste preferences.
