LOW CARB TACO CASSEROLE
From Karly @ www.bunsinmyoven.com/
This is a bit higher in carbs than the cheeseburger casserole version, because taco seasoning and spices are full of carbs. You can reduce the seasoning a bit to your taste if you’d like to reduce carbs, but at just 5 net carbs per serving, I think this is just fine!
PREP TIME: 5 MINUTES
COOK TIME: 40 MINUTES
TOTAL TIME: 45 MINUTES
YIELD: 6 SERVINGS
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 jalapeno, minced
1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade)
1/4 cup water
2 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup salsa
4 eggs
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup grated cheddar
1/2 cup grated pepperjack cheese
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick spray.
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion and jalapeno to the beef and cook until onion is translucent.
Drain any grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the cream cheese and salsa and stir to combine.
Crack the eggs in a medium mixing bowl and whisk together with the hot sauce and heavy cream.
Pour the meat mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with the egg mixture.
Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 30 minutes or until eggs are set.
Cool 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
