Ingredients

1 cup cream cheese, regular

5 eggs

½ tsp salt

12 oz cheddar cheese(grated)

1 lb extra-lean ground beef

1 cup salsa

½ tsp ground cumin

¾ tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp chili powder

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and line an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, or grease the dish with oil.

Add the cream cheese, eggs, and half the salt to a bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat over medium speed until well combined and smooth.

Pour the cream cheese and egg mixture into the baking dish and top with half the cheddar cheese. Bake for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef to the pan, breaking it up as it cooks. Once it is cooked through and no longer pink, drain any excess drippings from the pan. Then add the salsa, cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, and remaining salt. Reduce the heat to low and cook for five minutes.

Add the beef to the baking dish and top with the remaining cheese. Bake for ten minutes. Let cool before slicing. Serve and enjoy!

I am a Nurse, wife, and mom. I have spent over 20 years in Healthcare and always took care of everyone else. Finally, after years of yo-yo dieting and failed New Years' resolutions, and complete desperation, I found something that Finally worked for me. I have been doing this Keto/Low carb lifestyle for over 3 years and have lost over 100lbs. My goal was to bring this lifestyle to my family and we went from couch potatoes to our 1st 5k and have lost over 300 lbs. We still have a long way to reach our goals, but we strive to be better every day. I enjoy helping women bring this Keto/Low carb lifestyle to the family.
