The ultimate in comfort food, this Impossible Taco Pie is layered with ground beef, Rotel, cheddar cheese and a Bisquick topping. It’s an easy family dinner recipe.
Earlier this year we made the traditional Bisquick Impossible Cheeseburger Pie. It was a meal everyone enjoyed, so I immediately started thinking up new versions of that easy dinner.
This Impossible Taco Pie uses the same recipe, but switches out a few ingredients to give it a Mexican flair. With taco seasoning, Rotel and cheddar cheese, this is going to become your new favorite Taco Tuesday recipe.
Why you’ll love this recipe:
- Kid friendly dinner…if your kids like taco meat, they’ll like this casserole.
- Comforting Mexican flavors you know and love.
- Made easily in under an hour.
- No need for a pie crust…the Bisquick forms a top crust to help hold the pie together.
What is Bisquick impossible pie?
Bisquick impossible pie is a classic recipe that was first shared on the back of a box of that famous biscuit mix. The traditional recipe is a mixture of ground beef, cheese, eggs and bisquick mix to hold it all together.

Note: Don’t get this confused with Impossible Pie. That sweet dessert is a pie recipe that makes its own crust when baked.
How to Make Impossible Taco Pie
- Prepare. Preheat the oven to 400º Fahrenheit. Spray a 9″ round deep pie dish (or cake pan) with cooking spray.
- Brown. Using a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until the beef is no longer pink. Drain off any fat. Add in the taco seasoning and drained Rotel. Mix well and heat through.
- Layer. Spread the beef mixture in the bottom of the prepared pie plate. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
- Mix. In a small bowl, whisk together the Bisquick mix, milk and eggs. Pour evenly over the beef and cheese.
- Bake. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the middle of the pie is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.

Is there anything I can use other than Bisquick to make GF?
Made it this evening. Turned out great! Thank you for a easy weeknight recipe. And now my husband has leftovers to take to work, too. Win win!
This recipe is delicious and easy.
This recipe is wonderful!
Tried this tonight! We loved it! Thanks for the recipe!
Could cornbread be used in place of Bisquick?
This is an oldie but goodie. I use Carbquick instead of bisquick as my husband is a diabetic. I don’t have the actual numbers, but I’ve used it for years not quite as good as Bisquick but works for his blood sugar. You can use it for anything, I used to have to order from Amazon but Walmart carries it now. I just substitute same amount. I was scrolling for something to use with the ground chuck I had defrosted. Thank you for reminding me of this
We made a double batch or 8 people and we ate it all 2 teenage boys and a 7 year old who had seconds we all decided its a do again!
I dont like bisquick jas anyone tried just poe crust
This was a fabulous plus for my cooking Repertoire. I am NOT a good cook but when something turns out so great as this recipe and they ask me to make it again….I’m impressed!!!! Thank you!!!!!
I don’t have a air frier. I’ve seen some recipes I’d like to try is there a way to try these recipes with out one?
Can this be made the night before and refrigerated for the next day?
