A great make ahead (freezes well) & easy entree. Another of my kids' favorites - they wish I would make it more often, but as it is not the healthiest meal I only make it occasionally. Very tasty but be warned - the chips get soggy with the leftovers. We never have any, though....
Ingredients:
1 (9 inch) unbaked pastry shells
1 lb ground beef
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope taco seasoning mix
1 (16 ounce) jar picante sauce
1 egg
1 1/2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese, divided
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can chopped green chilies
1/3 cup broken tortilla chips
shredded lettuce
sour cream
Directions:
1. In skillet, brown beef; drain. Add taco seasoning mix and 1 cup picante. Simmer 5-8 min.; remove from heat. Stir in egg.
2. Sprinkle frozen pie crust with 1/2 cup cheese; top with green chilies.
3. Pour ground beef mixture over chilies.
4. Top with remaining 1 cup cheese; sprinkle tortilla chips over top.
5. Bake in a preheated 350* oven on preheated baking sheet 20 to 35 minute
