Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 1 pound ground sirloin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 deep dish pie crust
- 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese or Mexican cheese blend, divided
- 1 cup refried beans
- 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce or taco sauce (such as Taco Bell Hot Sauce), plus more for topping
- 2 cups crushed doritos nacho cheese tortilla chips
- shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, and green onions for optional topping
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add ground beef in one layer, crumbling slightly with a wooden spoon to spread it into the skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Stir and continue cooking until beef is no longer pink. Season with remaining salt, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper and cook for 1 minute. Add water and cook for 2 minutes, scraping pan to release any browned bits. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Spread beans over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese evenly over the beans. Top with ground beef mixture, green chiles, hot sauce, and 3/4 cup cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and crust is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
- Uncover, top with remaining cheese and crushed chips and return to the oven, Bake until bubbly and cheese has melted and chips have very lightly browned, about 5 more minutes. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before serving with toppings of choice and more hot sauce if desired.
