Ingredients

Meat and Fillings

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (or ground turkey or chicken)
  • 1 Tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup shredded carrot (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped bell pepper or baby spinach (optional)
  • 2 pie crusts pie crusts (defrosted but unbaked)
  • 1/3 cup shredded Mexican cheese
  • 1 egg egg (for brushing)
  • salsa salsa (for dipping)

Instructions 

  • Cook the meat with taco seasoning and optional vegetables until browned, then set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line baking sheets with parchment.
  • Roll out pie crusts and cut ghost shapes; fill half with meat and cheese, then cover with cut-out shapes to seal edges.
  • Use a small round cutter to make eyes/mouth, then seal with a fork. Brush with egg wash.
  • Bake for 10-14 minutes until golden, then cool slightly and serve with salsa.

Notes
