Easy Taco Pie
This comes from a friend and sounds very good, certainly on my to cook list! Links to the shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground beef, (1 lb)
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix, OR make from a shortcut
- 3/4 cup water
- 6 eggs, chicken or duck
- 1 cup whipping cream
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
Optional Toppings
- sour cream, OR make from a shortcut
- fresh tomatoes, chopped
- fresh avocado, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F) and grease glass pie dish with butter and set aside.
- Heat a large non stick pan and brown the beef until no pink is visible. Break up the beef as it cooks with the spatula. Just starting with the beef here.
- Add the taco seasoning and water and reduce heat, cook for a few minutes to reduce the liquid and makes a thick sauce.
- Add the beef to the prepared pie dish and spread to make an even layer.
- In a mixing bowl, add the eggs, cream, garlic, salt, and pepper, mix together then pour over the beef. (Yes, I was making two pies.)
- Top with the cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the egg is set and the cheese starting to brown. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with toppings of sour cream, chopped tomatoes, chopped avocado, or toppings of your choice. Enjoy.
Notes
Figure about 125 Baht for the beef and about 90 Baht for the cheese. For 6 servings, this is about $1.05 per serving.
Shortcuts: Taco Seasoning Mix, Sour Cream.
Variant: 1. Use ground pork in place of beef.
