Recipe Introduction

Pro/Fat ~ Level 1 ~ This recipe reminds me of Bisquik's Impossible Taco Pie, one of my husband's favorite recipes in our pre-SSing days. Well, now we can have it again. Top this with fresh home-made salsa and sour cream!

List of Ingredients

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2 cups Mexican cheese blend
4 ounces cream cheese
3 eggs
1/3 cup cream
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 small can diced green chilies
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 pound ground beef and chopped onion to taste, browned in 4 tsp *taco seasoning* (* see note)



Recipe

Beat together cream cheese and eggs until smooth. Stir in cream, parmesan cheese, green chilies and spices.

Spray 9 x 13 pan with PAM. Sprinkle 2 cups Mexican cheese blend into dish. Spread ground beef over cheese mixture and pour egg mixture over it. Bake for 35 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes.

I serve this with sliced tomato, salsa and sour cream. I sometimes add shredded lettuce.

* Note: Prepackaged taco seasoning mixes usually have funky ingredients. I have included a legal recipe located in the 'Seasoning Mixes' category.

* Deb’s notes: I put meat mixture in a pie plate. I then sprinkle on 1 cup of shredded cheese. I mix the other
1 cup of shredded cheese with the batter, and then pour the batter over the meat and cheese mixture. I serve this with Pace Picante Sauce and sour cream.
