• 1 10-ounce can green tomatoes with chiles, drained

• Sour cream for garnish

Instructions

 

• Blind bake your pie crust
• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Saute the onion and bell pepper in butter.
• Whisk together the eggs, milk, and cream cheese until completely combined and as smooth as possible. Add the packet of Taco seasoning. Blend well.
• Add the shredded cheese.
• Whisk in the drained tomatoes and chiles to the mixture. Add the sautéed onion and bell pepper.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, then top with the chopped bacon. If you’re adding hot sauce, you can drizzle that on top as well.
