Low Carb Taco Pie

One recipe I have fond childhood memories of was my mom making a Bisquick taco pie. It always amazed me to be able to turn “pancake mix” into dinner recipes.

While our family no longer eats foods like Bisquick, and we have been working for years to cut out processed ingredients and high carb foods, we still wanted to create a delicious and easy low carb keto taco pie that reminded me of the version we had growing up.

And this keto crustless taco pie is it! It’s JUST as delicious as the same one I remember, yet without the crust, carbs, and chemicals that we are trying to avoid.

Even without the crust, our keto taco pie is the perfect weeknight dinner! Top with your favorite taco additions, such as salsa, avocado, and lettuce, or serve with a side salad and enjoy a dinner that is fun, festive, and flavorful.

• shredded cheddar cheese – freshly shredded
• garlic salt

Diet Adaptations

• To maintain compliance with gluten-free, low-carb, and keto lifestyles, always read the labels on packaged products, including salsa and taco seasoning. To ensure that your taco seasoning works, we do recommend you make your own homemade version (it’s super simple!).
• As for the cheddar cheese, always remember that shredding it yourself from a block will help you steer clear of miscellaneous carbs that are frequently added to the preshredded varieties.

Step By Step Instructions

Your keto taco pie is going to come together in a super simple way. Brown meat, season, combine with other ingredients and let the oven finish off your taco pie keto recipe.

Prep

Preheat your oven to 350F degrees and make sure your rack is in the center.

Grease a 9” pie pan and set it aside.

Brown the ground beef on medium heat in a non-stick skillet until the beef is all the way cooked through. Break up the ground beef pieces while you’re cooking it. It will take about 7-8 minutes in total to cook.

Drain the grease.

Add the taco seasoning to the same pan the ground beef is in and mix until combined. (You do NOT need to add extra water to the ground beef taco mixture like you if you were making tacos, you’ll be adding additional liquid to meat in a later step.)

Assemble

Spoon the seasoned ground beef mixture into the greased pie pan.

In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream and eggs together, then add the salsa, 1 cup of shredded cheese, garlic salt, and pepper.

Carefully pour the cheese and cream mixture over the top of the ground beef in the pie pan.

Sprinkle with a little more shredded cheese. We used about an extra 1/4 cup+.

Bake

Bake the low-carb taco pie for 35 to 40 minutes, or until it’s baked through and the egg/cream mixture has set.

Be sure to check your pie after 35 minutes and then put it back in five-minute increments if needed.

Let your low carb keto taco pie cool on a baking rack for five minutes before serving.

Delicious yet optional taco ingredients to serve on the side include more cheese, sour cream, avocado, salsa, guacamole, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, or olives.

Enjoy!

Recipe Tips

• For the best flavor, we recommend a higher fat content ground beef. Either an 85/15 or 80/20 ratio works well.
• While it may be tempting to substitute almond milk or regular milk for heavy cream, it is not recommended.
• To keep the carb count as low as possible in your keto taco pie, make homemade taco seasoning and read the label on your salsa.
• Begin checking your crustless taco pie for doneness after 35 minutes.
