Spicy Taco Pie

as adapted from the cookbook Company's Coming for Kids

500g lean ground beef
brown beans in tomato sauce 398ml
envelope taco seasoning mix 35g
cornmeal 1 tablespoon
biscuit mix 2 cups
milk 2/3 cup
grated monterey jack 1/2 cup
grated cheddar 1/2 cup
(we used 1 cup of  tex mex shredded)
crushed corn chips 1/2 cup
shredded lettuce 1 cup
1 med tomato - chopped
green onions - thinly sliced
sour cream 1/2 cup

Place oven rack in center position.  Preheat to 400F.  Grease pie plate.
Brown ground beef in frying pan over med heat. Stir in beans and taco seasoning.  Reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 5 min.
Sprinkle pie plate bottom with cornmeal.
Combine biscuit mix and milk in a bowl and stir until it forms a ball.  Knead dough 7-8 times on lightly floured surface.  Roll out on waxed paper into 12" (30 cm) circle.  Turn dough over into pie plate. Press dough lightly to form a shell.  Spoon beef mixture into shell.  Bake ~12 min until crust is golden.  Remove to wire rack.  Sprinkle with cheese, corn chips, lettuce, tomato and green onion.  Place dollops of sour cream on top.  Cut into 6 wedges.

This was really easy to make and really tasty.  It may not be the healthiest dish we've ever made but when both kids eat it with such enthusiasm - we will make this again!
