A Spooktacular Halloween Taco Pie

This Halloween, skip the candy overload

Serve up something scarily delicious, a Halloween Taco Pie! With a flaky pie crust shaped like a skeleton guarding layers of flavorful taco meat and gooey melted cheese, it’s a dinner that’ll make the whole family scream for seconds. Whether you’re feeding hungry trick-or-treaters before the candy dash or hosting a monster mash, this dish is a frightfully fun way to turn taco night into a Halloween hit. Add a toppings bar so everyone can “dress up” their slice because even tacos love to wear costumes!

🕸️ What You’ll Need

• 1 lb ground beef or turkey
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 cup salsa or diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
• 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if you’re feeling fancy)
• 1 egg (for brushing the crust)

How to Make the Skeleton Crust

• Roll out your pie dough and use a small knife or cookie cutters to cut the top crust into a skeleton shape skull, ribs, bones, whatever spooky style you like.
• Fill the bottom crust with the taco mixture and top it with your skeleton cutout crust.
• Brush with egg wash and bake at 375°F for about 25 minutes, until golden brown.

Serve with a Toppings Bar

Set out a toppings bar so everyone can customize their slice!
Try:

• Sour cream ghosts (spooned into ghost shapes)
• Shredded lettuce “grass”
• Diced tomatoes “bloody bits”
• Black olives “eyeballs”
• Jalapeño slices “monster mouths”
• Crushed tortilla chips for crunch

👻 Party Tip
Serve slices on black plates with a drizzle of sour cream webbing or spicy chipotle mayo “blood.” Add a cauldron of margaritas and you’ve got yourself a Fright Night Feast!
