Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20

- ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 large eggs
- ⅓ cup chunky salsa
- 1 ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese shred your own

- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 350F, making sure the oven rack is in the center position. Grease a 9" pie pan. Set the pan aside.
- Brown the ground beef in a skillet, adding oil if needed to keep it from sticking, until it's cooked through. Drain any extra grease.
- Add the taco seasoning to the ground beef in the same pan and stir it to combine. Spoon the taco beef into the greased pie pan.
- In a small bowl, combine the heavy cream and eggs together, and then add the salsa, 1 cup of shredded cheese, garlic salt, and pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture over the top of the taco beef in the pie pan. Top with an additional ¼ cup of shredded cheese.
- Bake the keto taco pie uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Let your crustless taco pie cool 5 minutes before serving.
- Add optional garnishes, if desired, like sour cream, salsa, cilantro, chives, avocado, diced tomatoes, or olives. Enjoy!

Notes
- To lighten up the recipe you can cut back on the cheddar cheese or use ground turkey or ground chicken instead of beef.
- Grating the cheddar cheese from a block is better than using the pre-shredded cheddar which is higher in carbs and adds potato starch to keep it from sticking.
- Readers have had success doubling the recipe and adding 8-10 minutes to the baking time, we have not tested this ourselves.
