This recipe is something relatively new to me ….. I never had it growing up. At least, not to my knowledge. Actually, I can probably count on one, maybe two hands, the number of times I have ever eaten it in my entire life. This is one of those meals that makes a pound of hamburger stretch!! Seriously, it’ll feed 8 people with this recipe! Enjoy!

Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1 packet taco seasoning, 1 oz.
- 1 can sliced black olives, drained, 2.25 oz
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough, 8 oz.
- 2 cups coarsely crushed Fritos chips, divided
- 1 cup sour cream, 8 oz.
- 1 can chopped green chilies, 4 oz.
- 1 ½ cups Cheddar cheese, shredded, 6 oz.
- optional toppings: sour cream and salsa
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Meanwhile, in a skillet, cook and crumble the beef with the onion until the meat is no longer pink. Drain if necessary. Stir in the tomato sauce, taco seasoning, and black olives.
- Unroll the crescent dough into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, making sure to seal the seams. Sprinkle about half of the Fritos over the dough. Top with the meat mixture.
- In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and the green chilies. Spread evenly over the top of the meat mixture. Evenly top with the remaining Fritos and then the cheese.
- Bake 25-30 minutes or until the crust is cooked and the pie is heated through. Serve with additional sour cream or salsa if desired.
Notes
- Look for the can of a crescent dough sheet so there’s no seams to seal!
