This Bisquick Impossible Taco Pie is my go-to, I’ve got no time to cook anything, but delicious dinner. The whole family absolutely loves this pie and it’s so easy to make! All the classic flavors you expect in good tacos (check out my easy and really wonderful taco meat recipe!) are made into a great pie.
Next time you’re having taco Tuesday, serve this pie and taco pie up instead of the old standard.
Bisquick is one of my favorite pantry staples. You can make appetizers, savory meals, and even desserts with this magical ingredient. Try more of my favorite Bisquick recipes next!
How To Make Impossible Taco Pie Without Bisquick
If you forget to pick up a box of Bisquick no problem, you can still make this! For this recipe, just replace the baking mix with the following:
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons shortening or butter
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the shortening or butter, until the mixture is crumbly and is the size of peas. Just use this instead of the Bisquick and follow the recipe as directed.

Storing + Freezing
- How Long Can You Keep This In The Fridge? This will stay fresh and yummy in the fridge for a couple of days when stored properly. Transfer it to an airtight container or cover it tightly with cling wrap before putting it in the fridge. Hotel wrapping is the best way to do it! Here’s an article on how to hotel wrap.
- Can You Freeze This? Yes! This freezes well. Covered tightly with plastic wrap. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

This makes a great meal with a simple green salad or my strawberry spinach salad. If you want to stay with a Mexican theme, try my Mexican corn salad and homemade restaurant-style Mexican rice.

Hi, Debra! Thank you so much. I’m glad you found it here 🙂
It’s very easy. I’m making it now. I added half a can of pinto beans to the meat and green chili layer. It smells good!
Thanks, Erica! I’m glad you liked this pie 🙂
I’ve made this and it is very good!! I just wish I could figure out a way to incorporate cornmeal in it successfully to give it a true “taco” vibe. 😁
Thanks, Marjie! 🙂
I am making this today. So excited! I am putting a layer of crushed tortilla chips under the beef and onions. Wish me luck. I will report back with the results.
