Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (453.59 g) ground beef
- 3 tbsp taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (119 g) heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 cup (113 g) shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- When the meat is nearly browned (about 5-7 minutes), add the taco seasoning and minced garlic. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until beef is completely browned and seasoning is well incorporated. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Spread the seasoned ground beef evenly across the bottom of your prepared pie dish.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the meat layer.
- Pour the egg mixture carefully over the cheese and meat. Top with the remaining cheese, ensuring even coverage.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the center is set and the top is golden brown. Allow the pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
