“Baked Eggs? oh yes!” That’s how my husband responded to this recipe, and not to mention all that finger-licking and looking at the dish over and over again. Eggs combined with ground beef/chicken is what the real party is. It melts in your mouth. It’s unforgivingly yummy.
You can also pair it with any of your favorite crisp, crunchy, green salad with fresh tomatoes, lemon, and chilies. For people who feel it would be pretty bland with just meat, you can also season the ground beef first with a taco seasoning to add more flavor and zest.

This is a classic recipe for that time when your kids are bugging you for a hamburger, and you don’t know how to make it super nutritious. Multiply the eggs by the number of people, and you’ll have dinner for the whole family. Voila!
