Cheddar Cheese Nacho Cups
Crispy cheddar cups filled with seasoned ground beef and fresh taco toppings—a perfect low-carb party bite
Equipment
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Sharp knife
- Medium skillet
- Platter for serving
Ingredients
- 8 slices deli-style cheddar cheese
- ½ lb ground beef
- 1½ T taco seasoning
- ¼ c lettuce chopped small
- 1 tomato diced small
- ⅓ c sour cream
- 1 green onion sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F. Prepare a baking pan with a sheet of parchment.
- Arrange the cheese slices flat and in one layer with room between them (they will melt and spread a little) and bake 5 min, until just melted around the edges.
- Let cool 2–3 min, then gently mold into muffin cups. Cool 10–15 min until firm.
- While cheese cools, cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain.
- Add the packet of taco seasoning (or make your own taco seasoning) and 1 T water, stirring to combine.
- Fill each cheese cup with beef, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, and green onion. Add other toppings you'd like, such as chopped black olives or a drop or two of hot sauce.
- Serve immediately.
