Keto Taco Pie

Ingredients

Ground beef: You can also use ground turkey, pork or chicken. It’s up to you whether you drain the fat after cooking the meat. I purchase my good grassfed beef from Wild Pastures. Get 20% off your first box today!
Taco seasoning: You can use store-bought seasoning, but make sure it has no added fillers, sugars, or starches. I really like the seasoning from Primal Palate. Or make your own by combining chili powder, cumin, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Eggs: Eggs make up the bulk of this recipe, besides the taco meat. They give the casserole cohesiveness, structure, and great flavor.
Heavy cream: Some of my readers have substituted heavy cream with coconut milk. You could use regular milk but because it has less fat than cream, it will take longer for the eggs to set.
Shredded cheese: I usually use cheddar or a Mexican blend. You can also use Monterey Jack or Pepper jack. It doesn’t matter whether you
Garlic: A few cloves of minced garlic add more flavor.
Salt and pepper
