Cheryl beat out over 100+ other applicants to be one of four finalists in our Favourite Family Recipe Contest with Global News Morning. During November, we invited each finalist to the Live Kitchen in our Richmond showroom to share their history-rich recipes with us. You can now recreate Cheryl's taco pie recipe at home.
The story behind this recipe:
_“After a 25-year marriage ended, and with six teenagers/young adults, our father met a lovely lady, Edie. Edie and dad met at their complex pool, and they are still together today. Little did Edie know just how big the family would grow! (at the time) With many grandkids and now eight great-grandkids._Edie made us Taco Pie one time, and we have been making it ever since. It’s less messy than tacos and just as tasty!”
