This year I celebrated my 41st year of cooking on TV when I returned to celebrate WBTV’s 70th anniversary. The recipe I made that debut day was Taco Pie. I looked like a baby deer in headlights through the whole thing, but I, and this easy, delicious recipe, are still around. I have updated both of us a bit. Here we are!
This easy recipe is perfect for busy fall days.

1 refrigerated pie crust (unroll kind)
1/2 cups crushed corn chips (for crust)

1 cup sour cream
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1/4 cup crushed corn chips
Garnish: shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, chopped cilantro, chopped peppers
