Individual Taco Pot Pies combine seasoned taco beef, black beans, corn, salsa, and melted cheese beneath a flaky golden crust. These single-serving pot pies are a fun and comforting way to enjoy taco flavors in a hearty baked meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • ⅔ cup water
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease 6 individual ramekins.
  3. Cook the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is tender.
  4. Drain excess grease and stir in the taco seasoning and water.
  5. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  6. Stir in the black beans, corn, and salsa.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from the heat.
  8. Divide the filling evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  9. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.
  10. Cut the pie crust into circles slightly larger than the tops of the ramekins.
  11. Place a crust circle over each ramekin and gently press the edges to seal.
  12. Cut a small slit in the center of each crust to allow steam to escape.
  13. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
  14. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the crusts are golden brown.
  15. Allow the pot pies to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
  16. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions.

Notes

  • Substitute ground turkey or ground chicken for a lighter option.
  • Add diced bell peppers for extra flavor and color.
  • Use pepper Jack cheese or diced jalapeños for additional heat.
  • Replace black beans with pinto beans or kidney beans if desired.
  • Use puff pastry instead of pie crust for a flakier topping.
  • Top with sour cream, avocado, or salsa before serving.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
