Easy Taco Pie

I've been making this Taco Pie for several years and it looks a bit different than the others here at zaar so thought I would post it. It comes from a '98 Quick Cooking.

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs ground beef
• 1  envelope  taco seasoning
• 1⁄2 cup water
• 1 (2 1/4ounce) can sliced ripe olives, drained
• 2  cups  crushed  corn chips, divided (measure after crushing)
• 1  unbaked 9-inch pie shell
• 1  cup sour cream
• 1  cup  shredded cheddar cheese

• Additional toppings

•  shredded lettuce or  tomatoes or  salsa or   jalapeno, etc. (optional)

Directions

1. Note: Any corn chip works great except Doritos- they taste great in the pie but the chips on top of the pie start to burn-must be the"cheese".
2. Brown ground beef and drain.
3. Stir in taco seasoning, water and olives.
4. Simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
5. Sprinkle 1 cup of corn chips into pie shell.
6. Top with meat mixture.
7. Spread sour cream over top of meat.
8. Sprinkle with cheese.
9. Cover with remaining corn chips.
10. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
11. Cut into wedges.
12. Serve with additional toppings.
