Taco-flavored Cheddar cheese is also great with this fun dinner pie.

If your meatballs are large, cut them in half before placing on the pie crust.

Very filling dish, my husband says it takes him back to fiesta pizza in cafeteria line in school (which is a good thing)! He loved those pizzas. PS above comment instead of basil use cilantro which will give it more authenticity.

This is not the best dish. It was easy but not tasty.

It doesn't take long to prep. or cook. It is sure to please anyone who likes mexican food. Even if they don't,they're sure to love it. The meatballs make it different from all the rest.It warms your stomach and is sure to warm the mood as everyone smiles and laughs. The picture doesn't do it justice. TIP: if you add a little sweet basil it makes the taste and apperance a little better.
