6 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds of lean ground beef
- 1 packet of taco seasoning
- 1 4.5 ounces can of diced green chiles
- 1/2 c salsa
- 1 c grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 c Bisquick mix
- 1 c milk
- 3 large eggs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Finely chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F, and while that’s warming up, give your 9-inch pie dish a nice coating of nonstick spray to make sure everything comes out easily later.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until it's fully browned and no pink remains. Make sure to drain off any extra fat, then sprinkle in the taco seasoning. Give it a good stir to mix all those flavors in.
- Next, add the diced green chiles and salsa to the beef, stirring until everything is well combined. Once that’s done, transfer the beef mixture to your greased pie dish and spread it out evenly. Now, sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese over the top to cover the beef mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the Bisquick, milk, and eggs until smooth. Pour this mixture right over the beef and cheese in the pie dish, making sure to cover everything evenly.
- Pop it in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set. Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then serve it up with your favorite taco toppings—think sour cream, guacamole, or maybe some fresh cilantro—and enjoy!

Everything else is pretty much good to go—just double-check that your taco seasoning is gluten-free since some brands sneak in wheat.

And trust me, no one will even notice the difference!
