Taco Pie: What semi-country wives do when their husbands are away

My husband is very picky, and by 'very picky', I mean VERY picky.  He likes meat and potatoes and cottage cheese.  This presents a culinary challenge for me at times.  I work around it when he travels.  With my big brother temporarily living at our house, I decided to make Taco Pie.  A favorite from our childhood (and a recipe my husband despises). 

So, this is what semi-country wives do when their husbands are away.  They do whatever it is they want!  Oh wait, no, they really don't, they just make things their husband won't eat.  I still watered the flowers, changed the boy, fed him, bathed him and maintained the household and went to work...well until Thursday anyway.  It's glamorous, isn't it?

Due to a considerable interest, I will post the recipe, it's not mine, I obtained it from the internet, but you should probably add it to your weeknight, stand-by, favorites:

Impossible Taco Pie:

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 ( 1 1/4 oz.) envelope taco seasoning mix
• 1 can ( 4 oz.) chopped green chiles, drained
• 1 1/4 cup milk
• 3 eggs
• 3/4 cup Bisquick
• 2 tomatoes, sliced
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese

Preparation:

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease glass pie plate, 10 x 1 1/2 inches.
Cook and stir ground beef and onion in skillet until beef is brown;drain. Stir in seasoning mix, dry. Spread in pie plate; top with chillies. Beat milk, eggs and Bisquick baking mix until smooth. Pour into pie plate. Bake 25 minutes. Top with tomatoes and cheese. Bake 8-10 minutes. Longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Serve with sour cream, tomatoes and shredded lettuce if desired. 6-8 servings.  I also add homemade salsa or Ortega Taco Sauce for good measure.


I would have taken a picture for you, but, sadly, it's gone! =) 

Being the good, domestic goddess that I am, I also took the kids in for photos.  Here are a couple:
