Bacon + Mexican = HECK YES
OK so as a lot of my readers know, ( you know the 5 of you that religiously read this thing thank you thank you thank you) I am trying HARD to keep my budget in check out of necessity this year.
So far i have not gone but about 50 - 100 bucks out of my budget for the year. This is only groceries. Does not include health and beauty ( paper products, razors etc) cat food or cat litter, dog food etc. However, I have done very well on that part too, but this is mainly food.
I started January 1st its now July 1st- i have spent between 350-400 bucks on food this year. A little over my budget but still good. Im proud.
However, I am trying to use up things around the house , as once we are out of our hole financially, I want to start eating more non processed and non canned things. So im using it up NOW.
Enter Bacon Taco Bake.
I had some turkey bacon. It needed to be used. I had 1 pie shell that needed to be used. 1 can of beans. Some ground turkey. Soooo the baby was born.
Recipe:
1 pie shell
( if you really wanna cut down on carbs/calories opt to not use this or you can always use tortillas as the bottom and sides)
Turkey bacon ( as much as you want i used what i had)
1/2 can refried beans
1 package ground turkey
1 package Chili O seasoning ( or taco seasoning)
1 can diced tomatoes
And any other things you might like ( i used taco sauce and cheese)
Directions- place pie shell in pie pan
Cook ground turkey with tomatoes and seasonings till DONE
Cook turkey bacon
Layer bacon on bottom , then beans, then meat mixture, taco sauce and cheese- repeat :) ending with cheese.
Bake for 450 ( whats on the package of the pie shell) for 12-15 min depending on your oven, and voila!
