Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup Bisquick mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 400F (200C) and coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray for effortless release.
- Sauté ground beef and chopped onions in a skillet over medium heat until meat turns thoroughly brown, carefully draining any accumulated fat.
- Incorporate taco seasoning and diced tomatoes into the meat mixture, allowing flavors to meld for 2-3 minutes while stirring continuously.
- Distribute the seasoned beef evenly across the prepared pie dish, creating a uniform base layer.
- Generously scatter shredded cheese over the meat mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Blend Bisquick mix, milk, and eggs in a mixing bowl until smooth and well-integrated.
- Gently pour the liquid mixture over the beef and cheese, ensuring consistent distribution without disturbing the underlying layers.
- Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the top achieves a golden-brown hue and the center sets firmly.
- Remove from oven and allow pie to rest for 5-7 minutes, enabling the ingredients to stabilize before slicing.
- Serve warm, optionally garnishing with a dollop of cool sour cream to complement the dish’s robust flavors.
Notes
- Customize the taco seasoning blend to match your preferred spice level by adjusting chili powder, cumin, and paprika quantities.
- Choose lean ground beef or swap with ground turkey for a healthier protein option that maintains the dish’s robust flavor profile.
- Enhance the nutritional value by adding diced bell peppers or black beans to the beef mixture for extra texture and nutrients.
- Make this recipe gluten-free by substituting Bisquick with a gluten-free baking mix or a homemade blend of rice flour and cornstarch.
