Ingredients
1 lb Ground Beef (80/20)
3 T Taco Seasoning (sugar-free)
2/3 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
4 large Eggs
1/3 cup Chunky Salsa
1 1/4 cup Shredded Cheddar
1/2 tsp Garlic Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350F and grease a 9-inch pie pan.
Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat until fully browned; drain excess fat.
Stir the taco seasoning into the beef and remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, salsa, garlic salt, and black pepper.
Spread the seasoned ground beef evenly into the prepared pie pan.
Sprinkle 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar over the beef layer.
Pour the egg mixture over the beef and cheese.
Top with the remaining shredded cheddar.
Bake for 40 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
Always shred your own cheddar cheese for the best melt quality. You can customize this with toppings like sour cream, diced tomatoes, or chopped cilantro. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or microwave.
