Mexican Taco Quiche

A great (and man-pleasin') breakfast or brunch main dish! Prepare the taco meat the night before and keep refrigerated; warm in microwave next morning to really speed up this dish! I especially love serving this for Football Brunch... Holds 'em over till halftime so I can watch the game too! Serve with sour cream and enjoy!

Ingredients

• 2 cups milk
• 1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust
• 5 eggs, beaten
• ½ onion, chopped
• 1 pound ground beef
• salt and black pepper to taste
• ½ green bell pepper, chopped
• 1 (1 ounce) packet taco seasoning mix
• 1 (16 ounce) package shredded Mexican-style cheese blend
• 1 (8 ounce) jar chunky salsa

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Whisk together the eggs, milk, salsa, bell pepper, onion, and Mexican-style cheese in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in the ground beef. Cook and stir until the beef is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease. Stir in the taco seasoning, then spread the meat mixture into the pie crust. Pour the egg mixture over the beef.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of the quiche comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.
