Best Keto Taco Casserole - Butter Together Kitchen

Ingredients

Taco Seasoning

	2 tbsp Chili Powder
	1 tbsp Paprika
	1 tbsp Salt
	1 tbsp Ground Black Pepper
	2 tsp Ground Cumin
	1 tsp Garlic Powder
	1 tsp Onion Powder
	1 tsp Dried Oregano Leaves
	2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
	1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper, optional for added kick

Taco Casserole

	1 pound Ground Beef
	6 Eggs
	1 cup Heavy Cream
	2 cloves of Minced Garlic
	1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F.

Combine all taco seasoning ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

If you are opting to use a premixed seasoning you can use about 1/2 a cup of that premixed taco seasoning, otherwise just mix up all the taco seasoning ingredients above.

In a skillet, brown the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Add the taco seasoning to the beef and stir until it is fully combined. Spread the beef mixture in a pie pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and minced garlic.

Pour the egg mixture over the beef mixture in the pie pan, and then top with shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake the taco casserole for 35 minutes. It is done when the center is set and the cheese is lightly browned around the edges.

Remove the keto taco casserole from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.

Serve it with your desired toppings, such as sour cream, sauce, green onions, or anything else you prefer.

Notes

To ensure the dish is cooked perfectly, you can check the center of the casserole with a toothpick or knife. If it comes out clean, the casserole is done. If there is still some raw mixture, bake it for an additional 5-10 minutes.

For added flavor and texture, you can top the casserole with some diced avocado, fresh cilantro, or sliced jalapenos before serving.
For leftovers, you can store the casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it in the oven or microwave before serving.
