Gluten Free Taco Meat Pie

​Gluten-free taco meat pie is meatloaf’s spicy cheesy cousin!

MA WHERE’S THE MEATLOAF?

I am writing this gluten free taco meat pie recipe out as our house is under renovation!  Four guys are here installing new windows which will take them 3 days.  Apparently, when the gas leaks out from between the panes of glass it makes your windows less effective.  Our house is almost 20 years old so it needed some TLC when we bought it. We have been putting off doing the windows but decided to bite the bullet this year.  The front door will be replaced  this week as daylight comes  through the wood and all around the frame which is not good.

My kitchen is a disaster, so I am only dreaming of  making something yummy to eat like this Taco meat pie.  I am in my office listening to the sound of hammers and drills.  It is exciting to get the windows fixed so they all shut and don’t leak our valuable air conditioning outside since we live in Arizona!  Hopefully it will improve our power bill, we are keeping our fingers crossed.

The temperature is rising hotter here everyday and I am reluctant to turn on my oven.  My family said it was worth it for this Taco meat pie and they proved it with very little leftovers.   That always makes this Mama’s heart happy.
A fun twist on meatloaf!  You might also like a fun Halloween twist on this dish in my Mummy Meatloaf!  I love to pair it with a big salad... check out the 17 layer salad too!

Crispy bacon and cheese..yummy!!

YOU CAN SPICE UP THIS TACO MEAT PIE WITH ONLY A FEW INGREDIENTS!

If you want a spicy version of this dish, please feel free to add a little or a lot of hot sauce!  Some diced Jalapenos would make it even more spicy and delicious!  I swear living in the Southwest has changed my tolerance of spice!
