Easy Keto Taco Casserole Recipe – low on carbs but high on taste! SO good! Everyone cleaned their plate and asked for seconds!! Ground beef, taco seasoning, diced tomatoes and green chiles, cheddar cheese, eggs, sour cream, and heavy cream. Ready in 30 minutes. Can make ahead and refrigerate or freeze for later. Taco Tuesday never tasted so good.
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Lightly spray an 8x8-inch or 11x7-inch pan with cooking spray.
Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain fat. Add taco seasoning, water, and diced tomatoes and green chiles. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Spread taco meat in the bottom of the prepared pan. Top with shredded cheese.
Whisk together eggs, milk/heavy cream, and sour cream. Pour on top of the beef mixture.
Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes.
Notes:
Can substitute ground beef, ground chicken, ground pork, or chorizo.
Variations/Additions:
fresh onion
bell peppers
black olives
red pepper flakes
I suggest adding the onion and peppers to the skillet when cooking the ground beef.
I used shredded cheddar cheese. Feel free to swap it for any cheese you prefer – colby jack, white cheddar, Monterey jack or a Mexican cheese blend are all delicious.
