1/2 cup salsa

1 cup cheddar cheese, grated

1/2 cup Bisquick mix

1 cup milk

3 large eggs

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat and Grease:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray or butter.

2. Brown the Ground Beef:

  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the lean ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat, then season the beef with taco seasoning. Stir to combine.

3. Add Chiles and Salsa:

  • Stir in the diced green chiles and salsa into the seasoned ground beef mixture until well incorporated.

4. Transfer to Pie Plate:

  • Transfer the beef mixture into the greased pie plate, spreading it out evenly across the bottom.

5. Sprinkle with Cheese:

  • Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the beef mixture.

6. Prepare Bisquick Mixture:

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Bisquick mix, milk, and eggs until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Pour Over Beef:

  • Pour the Bisquick mixture over the beef and cheese in the pie plate, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

8. Bake to Perfection:

  • Place the pie plate in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is set.

9. Garnish and Serve:

  • Once baked, remove the Impossible Taco Pie from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with finely chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes

Vegetarian Option: Substitute the ground beef with plant-based ground meat for a vegetarian version of this taco pie.

Spice Level: Adjust the heat by using mild or hot salsa, or adding diced jalapeños to the beef mixture.

Toppings: Serve with a dollop of sour cream, sliced avocado, or a squeeze of lime for added freshness and flavor.
