Easy Carnivore Taco Pie

This hearty dish combines the bold flavors of seasoned ground beef, creamy eggs, and gooey cheese, all baked together into a golden masterpiece. Perfect for those following carnivore meal plans, this recipe offers a simple yet flavorful twist on traditional tacos. With just a handful of ingredients and minimal prep time, you can enjoy a delicious taco-inspired meal that's as satisfying as it is convenient. Enjoy!

Can I use other types of meat instead of ground beef?

Absolutely! Feel free to substitute ground beef with ground turkey, chicken, or pork, depending on your preferences. Adjust the cooking time accordingly to ensure the meat is fully cooked.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time and reheat it later?

Yes, you can prepare the taco pie ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Simply reheat individual slices in the microwave or oven until heated through before serving.

Is it necessary to use taco seasoning, or can I season the beef differently?

While taco seasoning adds classic flavor to the dish, you can certainly customize the seasoning to your taste preferences. Experiment with different spice blends or seasonings to create your unique twist on this recipe.

Can I omit the heavy cream from the egg mixture?

The heavy cream adds richness and creaminess to the egg mixture, but you can omit it if you prefer. The eggs will still cook and set without the cream, though the texture may be slightly different.

How long can leftovers be stored, and how should they be reheated?

Leftover taco pie can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave or oven until warmed through before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh toppings like sour cream and parsley for a delicious finishing touch.

    Can any shredded cheese work? Or only Gouda will make a “crust”?

      I have made this recipe and used a Mexican cheese blend. I found another taco bake recipe that uses cheddar cheese. I would think it is your preference

      So the crust is cheese?

        Looks like it is the meat as that goes in the pan first.
