Amish Deep Dish Taco Squares

Jump to Recipe

I have so many recipes from so many different Amish cooks stored in my office that I could post them for decades and not run out.  Some of them - many of them - are just sitting sealed in n a large green plastic tote.  So I thought it'd be fun to literally just stick my hand in there, rummage around, pull out an Amish recipe and post the first one I grabbed.

 Just so happens what I grabbed sounds like a not-very-Amish recipe but don't be fooled.   I have seen Deep Dish Taco Squares in a number of Amish cookbooks and seen the recipe from Indiana to Pennsylvania.  This is a popular recipe among Amish cooks who want the taste of Tex Mex merged with the more traditional Amish hearty "dinner pie" type recipe.  Deep Dish Taco Squares fits the bill!  This version comes to us from a Katie Lehman in LaGrange County, Indiana

The ingredients in this are very basic. And you can experiment by adding things like ground turkey in with ground beef. Make sure you use lean meat. If you want something with a bit more heat than taco seasoning, you diced some jalapenos to add into this. Some chopped green pepper would go well too. There is a lot you can do with this! Even though there is pizza sauce in this, I think some diced tomato might go well. You can use a Mexican cheese mix with this, but I think shredded cheddar cheese is well good in this recipe.

This is the onion-egg-cheese and mayo mix! Stir until well combined. Choose a small or medium bowl to mix. A sprinkling of garlic powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, or chili powder might go well here. Ah, this is one of my favorite Amish meets Mexican meals! The crust on this is amazing. A great array of flavors!

Amish Deep Dish Taco Squares are hearty and delicious! It's like a comfort food casserole. It is packed with calories.
