Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup Bisquick mix
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cup salsa
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the taco seasoning to the ground beef and stir thoroughly, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Spread the seasoned ground beef evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and Bisquick mix until smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour the Bisquick mixture over the ground beef, ensuring it covers the meat completely.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly across the top of the mixture.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 5 minutes to set.
- Top with fresh sliced avocado and salsa before serving.
- Cut into 8 wedges and serve hot, garnishing with additional toppings like sour cream or chopped cilantro if desired.
Tips
- For extra flavor, consider using a spicy taco seasoning or adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to kick up the heat.
- Ensure your ground beef is well-drained to prevent a soggy pie bottom.
- Let the pie rest for exactly 5 minutes after baking to help it set and make slicing easier.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melting quality and flavor.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute ground turkey or plant-based meat alternatives.
- Serve immediately after topping with fresh avocado and salsa to maintain the best texture and temperature.
- Customize your toppings with sour cream, chopped cilantro, or jalapeños for added personal flair.
