Crunchy Taco Pie Recipe
Gretel Shaw
This taco pie is the ultimate late night snack. I like having this for myself, but I suggest to have it shared as this has generous servings.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Whisk eggs, heavy cream, and 1/2 teaspoon of your taco seasoning in a bowl.
Grease a small deep dish baking pan. Mine is 8x8 inches.
Sprinkle your Pepper Jack cheese in half to cover the pan's bottom.
Pour in your egg mixture over your cheesy bottom.
Make sure you speed even.
Place in 375 degrees Fahrenheit oven for about 20 minutes.
Chopped your onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño
Ok, grab your skillet. Turn the burner on to medium. Add your 1/2 pound ground beef to the skillet and chopped onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño.
Remember, jalapeño is optional!
Brown protein if using a ground beef drain.
Return to skillet burner off. Add 1/2 teaspoon of your taco mix, stir into the protein mixture and then add 1/3 cup of salsa.
Remove your crust from the oven; it should be firm but not hard.
Spread protein mixture over crust.
Sprinkle the rest of your Pepper Jack and your Chedder Cheese on top.
Place back in the oven for about 10 minutes, give or take.
