Easy Carnivore Taco Pie

10 ratings

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 you use carbquick to make a pie crust?

      I'd like to make this with shredded chicken breast rather than ground beef but am having a hard time calculating the resulting values of calories, fat, net carbs. Has anyone already tried this? TY

        Look up Walmart rotisserie chicken in the foods list. It will give you the breakdown of the chicken. You can also look up the eggs, heavy cream and cheese in that same list.

          This was very good. I didn’t have Gouda so I used pepper jack & cheddar mixed. Also added quite a bit of cilantro to hamburger & egg mixtures with sprinkling on top. Texture of egg mixture a bit like cornmeal like a tamale pie.

              Made with ground turkey and fresh shredded cheddar cheese. Cut into 8 pieces because it's so filling

                  I used a 10" oven safe ceramic nonstick (i.e. GreenPan) skillet.

                I made this today and liked it. Very good flavor. Topped it with a tablespoon of fresh salsa to up the carbs a little. I'm not sure why medium eggs were used (most recipes call for large) but I used 6 large eggs and it was fine but may skew the nutrition values. Costco has a nice block of gouda cheese. Regular gouda is very mild compared to smoked or aged gouda. Pepper Jack cheese should work well too - I'll try that next time. I will make this again.

                  Very clever - the top becomes a kind of chaffle. I like that! Thank you for this recipe!

                      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

                      Will this work with plant based heavy cream?

                        Sounds good to me… you want a happy hubby! I might even try Colby (not colby jack) as my hubby likes it. :)

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