Description

A comfort food dish combining the best flavors of tacos in a crustless, low-carb pie perfect for weeknight meals and gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 3 T taco seasoning
  • 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup chunky salsa
  • 1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and position the oven rack in the center. Grease a 9” pie pan and set aside.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks until thoroughly browned. Drain excess grease.
  3. Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef and stir well to combine. Spoon the mixture into your prepared pie pan.
  4. Whisk together heavy cream and eggs in a separate bowl. Add salsa, 1 cup of shredded cheese, garlic salt, and black pepper, mixing until blended.
  5. Pour the creamy mixture over the beef in the pie pan. Top with remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.
  6. Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, until center is set and top is golden brown.
  7. Let cool for 5 minutes before cutting into it.

Notes

Can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version. Shredding your own cheese is recommended for better texture.
