Meatless Taco Pie
"I got the idea for this from a recipe in a recent issue of Parents. I changed the ingredients and preparation to suit my family's taste. Both kids and my husband loved it."

Corn Bread Topping
- 2 eggs
- 6 tablespoons milk
- 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees farenheit. Add the pintos, salsa, tomato sauce, garlic powder, and taco seasoning to food processor and process until mixture is creamy.
- Pour into a 2qt casserole and bake 30 minutes or until heated through.
- Meanwhile mix cornbread ingredients in a medium bowl, remove casserole and spoon cornbread mixture over top of bean mixture and return to oven to bake an additional 15 minutes or until top starts to turn golden brown.
- Remove from oven and serve with shredded cheese.
- The rest of my family does not like chunky food, thats why I did this in a food processor. If you like a chunky mixture (as I do), feel free to simply mix all ingredients and bake as is, without processing.

Good and pretty easy meatless meal for us. I made the mistake of not using the specified size casserole (mine was a little smaller) so I was not able to use all of the corn bread topping, but it still was very good. Leftovers even better later in the week. Thanks for posting. -
This was a hit at my house! I added 1/2 cup yellow squash puree and 1/2 zucchini puree instead of the tomato sauce. I think next time I'll throw some fake meat into it to replace some of the beans.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a mother of 2 young kids, one of which is picky. I came to the 'Zaar looking for new ways to prepare foods to try and get my family to eat healthier. I am proud to say both my picky one and my picky husband are eating a lot more vegtables and liking them!
I love to collect cookbooks (don't we all) because I am always on the hunt for yummy new recipes. When I find a recipe I love, it goes on a 4x6 card and into my recipe box for future use. Since I like trying new things, the recipe has to be pretty special for me to hang on to it. I would say a good 90% of what I make I like, but just not enough for it to be THE recipe. I am generally not a picky eater, I like most things, but am just always on the look out for something different.
I want us to eat healthier and have been preparing healthier foods, but we do enjoy the occasional bad meal. :) I am trying to do a couple all veggie dinners each week, a couple nights of fish, and the rest of the week is a toss up with chicken filling in the majority of the time.
