Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 3 T taco seasoning Use DIY version or sugar-free store-bought.
  • 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup chunky salsa
  • 1 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese Shred your own for best flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp garlic salt Can substitute with salt + garlic powder.
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  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.
  2. In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add oil if needed to prevent sticking, and cook until fully browned. Drain any excess grease.
  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.
Baking
  1. Bake the crustless taco pie uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  2. Allow your pie to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serving
  1. Serve with optional garnishes like sour cream, salsa, cilantro, chives, avocado, diced tomatoes, or olives. Enjoy!

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. You can also freeze it for longer storage. When reheating, make sure to wrap it tightly to prevent freezer burn. For heat, consider adding chopped jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
