Enjoy the flavors and the ease of this amazing recipe! {{ingredient_image_1}} Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet, cook 1 pound of ground beef over medium heat. Break it apart as it cooks. Once it is fully browned, drain any excess fat. Add 1 diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 diced bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the veggies are soft. Next, mix in 1 can of drained diced tomatoes and 1 packet of taco seasoning. Stir it all well and let it cook for 2-3 more minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. In a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs and 1 cup of heavy cream. Mix until they are well combined. This creamy blend will add richness to your taco pie. Grease a 9-inch pie dish. Spread the meat mixture evenly across the bottom. Then, pour the egg and cream mix over the meat. Top it off with equal amounts of 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes. The center should be set, and the top should look golden and bubbly. After baking, let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy it with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and optional jalapeños for a spicy touch. When making Keto Crustless Taco Pie, avoid overcooking the meat. It can dry out. Get rid of excess fat from the meat to keep it light. Do not skip draining the diced tomatoes; soggy pie is not tasty. Ensure your eggs and cream are well mixed to avoid lumps. To enhance flavor, use a good taco seasoning. You can make your own with cumin, paprika, and chili powder. Adding more veggies can improve texture. Try using zucchini or mushrooms. Bake until the top is golden, and the center is set. Let it cool before slicing for easier serving. Serve your pie with fresh cilantro on top. A dollop of sour cream adds creaminess. For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños. Pair this dish with a simple salad for extra crunch and freshness. You can also serve it with avocado slices or a side of guacamole for extra flavor. Pro Tips Use Lean Meat: Opt for lean ground beef or turkey to reduce fat content while still enjoying great flavor. Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms to boost nutrition and flavor. Let It Rest: Allow the pie to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing to help it set and maintain its shape. Cheese Variations: Experiment with different cheese combinations like pepper jack or feta for unique flavor profiles. {{image_2}} You can easily make this pie meat-free. Use 1 can of black beans instead of ground beef. Add chopped zucchini or spinach for extra color and nutrition. Feel free to mix in corn for a sweet touch. Make sure to adjust the taco seasoning to fit your taste. If you want to cut carbs, swap heavy cream with coconut cream. For cheese, try using a blend of nutritional yeast and vegan cheese. You can also replace the diced tomatoes with salsa for a fresh twist. These swaps keep the flavors bold without the carbs. To heat things up, add sliced jalapeños to the meat mixture. You can also sprinkle red pepper flakes before baking. For a smoky taste, try adding chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. These spicy additions give your pie a fun kick and make it even more delicious. After enjoying your Keto Crustless Taco Pie, let it cool. Place the leftovers in an airtight container. You can keep the pie in the fridge for up to four days. Make sure to slice it into wedges for easier storage. When you're ready to eat again, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a slice of pie on a baking sheet. Heat it for about 15 minutes or until warm. You can also use the microwave for a quick option. Heat a slice for about one to two minutes. Just check it to avoid overheating. If you want to freeze the pie, let it cool completely first. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil. This way, you can keep it in the freezer for up to three months. To thaw, move it to the fridge overnight. You can then reheat it using the oven or microwave. This keeps the flavors and texture intact. Yes, you can make this dish ahead of time. I recommend cooking the meat mixture and letting it cool. Once cooled, place it in a container. You can store it in the fridge for up to three days. When you are ready to eat, mix the meat with the eggs and cream. Pour it into the dish and bake. This will save you time on busy days. You can use ground turkey or chicken instead of ground beef. Both options work well. They give a lighter taste but keep the dish tasty. If you want a vegetarian option, try using lentils or black beans. They will add protein and fiber. Just make sure to season them well for flavor. To make this dish dairy-free, swap the heavy cream for coconut cream or almond milk. Both options will keep the pie moist. You can also use dairy-free cheese. Look for brands that melt well for the best results. These swaps will help you enjoy the dish without dairy. You learned how to make a keto crustless taco pie.
