Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (80/20)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) Diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and transfer the beef mixture to a greased 9-inch pie dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour and baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the heavy cream and melted butter. Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the almond flour mixture until a smooth batter forms.
Spread the almond flour batter evenly over the beef mixture in the pie dish, ensuring it covers the filling completely.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of the almond flour crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the tamale pie from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, before serving.
Slice into portions and enjoy a delicious, keto-friendly meal!
