Mexican Morning Potato Pie Recipes

MEXICAN MORNING POTATO PIE

Steps:

• With non-stick spray, coat a 9 inch round glass pie plate then set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, milk and 1/2 teaspoon of the taco seasoning then stir to combine thoroughly. Add the Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, black beans, red pepper and ¾ cup of the cheese; mix well. Spread mixture onto the pie plate, gently press down and top with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon taco seasoning over the cheese.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes just until the cheese melts and the center is hot. Remove to a wire rack and cool for 3-5 minutes, cut into wedges and serve.

Steps:

• Brown and drain ground beef.
• Add taco seasoning to taste [we prefer a less spicy mix, so I only use half the envelope].

• Meanwhile, boil potatoes until tender, then mash.
• If you like, you can add butter and milk.
• Spread about one third of the potatoes in a round 2 quart casserole dish.
• Top with the ground beef mixture, then the cheese. Finish with the remaining potatoes.
• To use right away, bake at 350 about 30 minutes.
• To freeze, cover and freeze until solid. Lift out of casserole dish and wrap in foil. Place in zipper bag, label with name and date. Use within 3 months.
• To reheat, unwrap and place in original dish, defrost completely. Bake at 375 for 40-45 minutes.
