- 1 ½ pound ground beef, browned and drained
- 2 to 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 3 eggs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or almond milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded pepperjack or monterey jack
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures that the pie bakes evenly and sets properly.
- In a large skillet, brown 1 ½ pounds of ground beef over medium heat. Cook for about 7-10 minutes until it’s no longer pink, breaking it apart with a spatula. Be sure to drain the excess fat to avoid a greasy dish.
- Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of taco seasoning and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet. Stir well for about 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the beef is thoroughly coated.
- Pour in ½ cup of salsa and mix until everything is well combined. Spread this beef mixture evenly in a greased 9-inch round baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 eggs and ½ cup of heavy cream (or almond milk) until smooth. Slowly pour this mixture over the beef, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese and ½ cup of shredded pepperjack or Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top. This will create a delicious crust as it bakes.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the center is set and the edges are slightly golden.
- Once baking is complete, remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps it to firm up, making slicing easier.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm, topped with your favorite taco toppings like black olives, jalapenos, or sour cream.

Keywords: Don’t rush the browning of the beef; this step adds depth to the flavor. Use a non-stick cooking spray to coat the baking dish to prevent sticking. Let the pie rest after baking to set properly, and consider adjusting cheese ratios based on your preference.
