This Whole30/paleo/GF dinner is quick and simple. It can be eaten as a salad, over nachos, or just by itself. Notes: Make sure to drain the canned items very well before adding into the casserole dish This is also a great chip dip (with chips, or with bell peppers thickly sliced) – trust! Don’t forget to cover with foil or casserole dish cover!

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. While it’s browning, add in minced garlic and white onion and incorporate well with the beef

Step 3

While it’s browning, add the green peppers, potatoes, salsa, green chiles, black olives and diced tomatoes to a large casserole dish

Step 4

Once the beef is mostly browned, transfer it to a strainer and strain out all of the excess grease. Place back into the pan and mix in all of the spices and incorporate well

Step 5

Then, transfer the taco meat and onion mixture into the casserole dish along with the beaten eggs, and use a large spoon to stir in with the other ingredients. Once it’s well combined and evenly distributed, cover with foil or lid, place it in the oven and bake for 45 minutes-1 hour, or until the potatoes are baked all the way through when pierced with a fork

Step 6

Remove from the oven and serve on a bed of greens like a taco salad, and/or top with avocado/guacamole, pico, shredded lettuce, more black olives, sliced jalapeno, sour cream (dairy-free version for paleo/Whole30)
