Ingredients:
• 1 lb ground beef (80% lean or higher)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 large eggs
• ½ cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
• ½ tsp onion powder (optional)
Instructions:
• Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
• Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess grease.
• Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (if using).
• Assemble the Pie: Spread the cooked ground beef evenly in the prepared pie dish. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the top, ensuring everything is evenly covered.
• Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
• Serve: Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy this comforting low-carb delight!
Notes:
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like Gouda or Monterey Jack for a twist.
- Pair with a simple green salad for a complete meal.
