Nacho Pie (aka - Comfort Food)

I began this journey of finding yummy / kid friendly recipes over the winter and tripped on one for Nacho Pie.  It's pretty easy to throw together and everyone loved it!  I tried to lessen the fat content and used Low Fat crescent roll dough.  I'd make this again - but it's not something that we will do that often just because of the heaviness.

Ingredients:
1 lb Ground Beef, browned (you can use ground turkey to make it less fat)
1/2 Cup Chopped Onion
1 - 8oz Can Tomato Sauce
¾ Cup Water
1 - Packet Taco Seasoning Mix
1 - Tube Pillsbury Crescent Roll Dough (I used low fat)
1 1/2 Cup Crushed Corn Doritos or Any Brand Corn Tortilla Chips
1/2 cup Sour Cream (I used low fat)
1 - Cup Kraft Mexican Cheese Blend
Optional: additional sour cream for garnish, diced tomatoes and sliced black olives.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 in large skillet brown beef and onion over medium heat till done. Drain off any grease. Stir in tomato sauce, water and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 - 10 minutes. Separate Crescent rolls into 8 triangles. Place in greased 9 inch pie plate points facing towards the middle. You might have to maneuver the triangles a bit at the end and turn some of them side ways, that's OK as long as the pie plate is covered completely. Press onto bottom and up sides of plate to form crust. Seal perforations. Sprinkle 1 cup crushed Doritos over crust. Top with meat mixture. Using a spatula spread sour cream over meat. Sprinkle the Cheese and then remaining 1/2 cup crushed Doritos. Bake 30 - 40 minutes or until cheese melts, pie is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Cool 10 minutes before cutting. Add a dollop of sour cream, diced tomatoes and black olives for garnish. If the crust starts to brown to quickly cover the pie plate with foil from the bottom and up around the sides to cover crust
