How to Make Crustless Taco Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
• 3 T taco seasoning (our DIY version or sugar-free store-bought)

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F, making sure the oven rack is in the center position. Grease a 9" pie pan and set it aside.

3. Stir the taco seasoning into the cooked beef until well combined. Spoon the seasoned beef mixture into the greased pie pan.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and eggs. Then, stir in the salsa, 1 cup of shredded cheese, garlic salt, and black pepper.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the taco beef in the pie pan. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.
6. Bake the crustless taco pie uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
7. Allow your pie to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
8. Serve with optional garnishes like sour cream, salsa, cilantro, chives, avocado, diced tomatoes, or olives. Enjoy!
