Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter

2/3 cup milk

1 package taco bell seasoning mix

2 1/2 cups mashed potato flakes (or left over mashed potatoes-omit butter & milk)

1 pound ground beef or turkey

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup salsa

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 medium tomato, diced

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

sour cream, optional

Directions:

1. Preheat oven 350 F.

2. In a medium sauce pan, melt butter & add milk, 2 Tbsp. taco seasoning, mixing well. Remove from heat; add potato flakes, mixing until incorporated.

3. Press mixture into the bottom of a regular pie plate, and then bake the "crust" for 7-10 minutes until it just barely turns golden brown. In the meantime, cook beef & onions in a skillet until beef is browned and cooked through. Drain. Add Salsa & remaining taco seasoning. Cook until bubbly.

4. Pour into crust. Bake for 15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes. Top with cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes, black olives, jalapeno slices, etc.

Bon Appetit!
