Equipment
- Large skillet
- 9-inch pie dish
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 85% lean recommended
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 small onion finely chopped
- 1 small bell pepper any color, finely chopped
- 1 packet sugar-free taco seasoning 1 ounce
- 0.5 cup low-carb salsa
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
Optional Toppings
- shredded lettuce
- diced tomatoes
- sliced avocado
- sour cream
- fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Get Ready: Preheat your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
- Brown the Beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, and bell pepper. Break up the beef with a spoon and cook until it's nicely browned and the veggies are soft, about 8-10 minutes. Drain away any extra fat.
- Flavor Time: Stir in the taco seasoning and low-carb salsa. Let it gently simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. Then, take it off the heat.
- Pie Base: Spread the softened cream cheese evenly across the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or an oven-safe skillet. This creates a wonderful creamy layer!
- Layer it Up: Spoon the savory ground beef mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- Cheesy Top: Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese generously over the beef.
- Bake to Perfection: Pop the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is gloriously melted and bubbly.
- Serve & Enjoy: Let your taco pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve it warm with your favorite fresh toppings like crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, creamy avocado, or a dollop of sour cream for an extra treat!
