Equipment
- Oven
- 9-inch pie dish or baking dish
- Skillet or frying pan
- Mixing Bowls
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 1 lb 450g ground beef
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 1 cup diced tomatoes canned or fresh
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
For the Topping:
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro optional
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease your 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Pro tip: Greasing the dish well prevents sticking and makes cleanup so much easier.
Step 2: Cook the Filling
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula.
- Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and veggies are soft, about 5–7 minutes.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and diced tomatoes. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Pro tip: Let the mixture simmer for 2–3 minutes to let the seasoning fully bloom—it makes a huge difference in flavor.
Step 3: Prepare the Topping
- In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Whisk until smooth.
- Pro tip: Whisk continuously to prevent lumps and ensure a creamy, even topping.
Step 4: Assemble the Pie
- Spoon the cooked filling into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the top, gently spreading it to cover the filling.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
Step 5: Bake the Pie
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the topping is set and golden.
- Pro tip: If the top starts browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the last 5–10 minutes of baking.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Sprinkle chopped cilantro on top if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
