How about an easy breezy dish that will keep them coming back for more? This can be put together in 10 minutes 
and will cook in 20 minutes. I do recommend that you pre-cook the pie crust before you fill it. Another great tip is to cook up Extra lean ground beef with taco seasoning and freeze it in one pound packages. You can put this meal together in no time and have a great dinner with very little effort.
Taco Pie
1 pie crust put in a 9 inch pie plate with the crust edged. Cover the edge of the crust in foil
1 pound extra lean ground beef
Taco seasoning (either a packet or 4 tablespoons of taco seasoning spice)
1/4 cup of water
1 can of refried beans (optional)
1 small sweet onion diced
1 tomato diced
sliced ripe olives (optional)
diced lettuce (optional)
diced green onion tops (optional)
sour cream (optional)
2 to 3 cups of shredded Mexican Cheese
15 oz. jar of salsa of your choice
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Place the pie crust on a center rack and bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven.
In a skillet brown the extra lean ground beef, add taco seasoning and water to pan and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Place cooked beef with taco seasoning in the bottom of the pie crust. If you are using refried beans, stir them in with the beef before you put it on the bottom of the pie crust. Top with onions, tomatoes and cheese. Return the pie plate to the oven and cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with your favorite taco toppings, sliced ripe olives, diced lettuce, diced green onion tops, sour cream and salsa.
Leftovers are great heated up in the microwave.
