How to Make Beefy Tostada Pie in a Slow Cooker

Aunt Lou here.

If you and your loved ones love a hearty meal, this Crock Pot Beefy Tostada Pie I adapted from Crock-Pot’s I Can Make That in My Slow Cooker is gonna cRock your fiesta! It is super simple to make and even leftovers are delicious! (My black-olive-hating kiddos didn’t even notice and gobbled them right up…and asked for more!)

Ingredients You Need for Crock Pot Beefy Tostada Pie

2 lbs ground beef
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 cloves garlic, minced
15 oz can tomato sauce
2.25 oz can sliced black olives
7 burrito size flour tortilla shells
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Optional: Sour cream, chopped green onions, taco sauce
3 strips of heavy duty aluminum foil 18 inch x 2 inches (or 18″ x 4″ regular aluminum foil folded in half to make 18″x 2″ strips)

Crock Pot Beefy Tostada Pie Notes:

I recommend using a 3-4 quart round crock pot. I squeezed mine in a 2.5 quart, but it wasn’t ideal…however, it will work in a pinch. The round size just makes it easier to place your tortillas in.
Make sure you watch this while it is in your broiler. It can go from wonderfully browned to burnt in the blink of an eye. We really liked the way the broiler crisped up the top tortilla though, so I highly recommend it.
Another thing I recommend is reheating it in the oven instead of the microwave. If you do it this way, it makes the leftovers wonderfully crisp instead of soggy.

Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef
1.5 cups chopped onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 cloves garlic minced
15 oz can tomato sauce
2.25 oz can sliced black olives
7 burrito size flour tortilla shells
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
Optional: Sour cream chopped green onions, taco sauce
3 strips of heavy duty aluminum foil 18 inch x 2 inches or 18" x 4" regular aluminum foil folded in half to make 18"x 2" strips

Instructions

In a large skillet, brown your beef with your onion, salt, ground cumin, chili powder and garlic, drain and place in a large bowl
Stir your tomato sauce and black olives into your seasoned ground beef
Lightly grease your 3-quart, round slow cooker
Place your first foil piece (handle) down the side of your crock pot, across the bottom and up the other side, leaving "handles" at each end, repeat with other two foil strips in a wheel spoke type design so the handles are evenly placed around the top of your crock pot
Place one tortilla on top of the foil in the bottom of your crock pot and top with about a cup of the beef mixture, followed by about 1/2 cup of shredded cheese and another tortilla
Repeat your layers 5 (with a tortilla on top to complete your pie)
Cover and cook on high for 60-90 minutes
If desired, lift up your Crock Pot Beefy Tostada Pie by the foil handles and gently place on an oven safe dish or cookie sheet and broil on high for 30-90 seconds, until the top browns and crisps up
If you do not wish to broil your pie, lift and place on a serving dish
Cut to serve and top with sour cream, chopped green onions, taco sauce and remaining cheese, if desired
