This recipe is a family favorite that I have been making for many years. Each time I make it, I try a different ingredient variation. The version posted here is one I made recently for dinner that included teenagers - frequently, a hard group to please. This recipe is "Friend and Family ...& Teenager" approved. Enjoy!

Ingredients

2 cans condensed tomato soup (10.75 oz each)
8 large flour tortillas
2 cups black bean and corn salsa
1 1/2 cups Mexican blend cheese, shredded
1 can diced chiles (4 oz)
1 can sliced black olives, pitted (3.8 oz)

How To Make taco pie casserole

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Brown ground turkey (or ground beef) over medium-high heat. Drain off any fat from the pan. Set aside.

Step 2

Drain black olives. If using whole olives, slice the entire can. In a large mixing bowl combine soup, salsa, chilies, olives, and milk.
Step 3

Let cool slightly to prevent cheese from melting when adding it to the mixture. Mix in 1 cup shredded cheese.
Step 4

Add drained ground turkey (or ground beef).
Step 5

Cut tortillas into four strips lengthwise. Then cut strips into 1-inch pieces.
Step 6

Mix tortilla pieces into the soup mix.
Step 7

Spray a 13-x-9 inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Spoon the mixture evenly into the casserole dish.
Step 8

Cover tightly with foil. To prevent tortillas from sticking to the foil, spray with non-stick cooking spray before covering tightly. Bake at 400 degrees F for 40 - 50 minutes or until hot throughout (180 degrees F).
Step 9

Remove from oven and uncover. Sprinkle removing cheese on top.
Step 10

Return to oven for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Step 11

Let set up for 10 minutes before serving with sour cream.
Step 12

Tips: Great weekday dinner when served with a nice green salad. This recipe can also be made ahead of time and stored overnight. Pull it from the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before placing it into a 400-degree F oven.
