These adorable Ghost Mini Taco Pies are a fun and festive Halloween treat! Savory taco filling baked in flaky pie crusts and topped with cheese ghosts make a delicious and spooky snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14.1 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning
  • ¾ cup water
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons black olive slices, for eyes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced.
  4. Stir in black beans and ½ cup of cheddar cheese.
  5. Unroll pie crusts and cut out circles using a 3-inch cookie cutter or glass.
  6. Press each circle into a mini muffin tin.
  7. Fill each pie crust with the taco meat mixture.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown.
  9. While the taco pies are baking, prepare the ghost topping: in a small bowl, mix together the remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese and sour cream.
  10. Once the taco pies are baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  11. Spoon or pipe the cheese mixture onto each taco pie to create a ghost shape.
  12. Add black olive slices for the eyes.
  13. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the taco meat mixture. You can also use different types of cheese for the ghost topping, such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack.
