This Tex-Mex Cheesy Beef Quiche is a great weeknight meal, filled with the delicious flavors of the Southwest and topped with handfuls of Taco Shredded Cheese.
Hello Friends!
We are totally deep into THE shopping season. Totally… Except, I haven’t crossed out anyone’s name off my list, which means I have not bought one single thing for my Christmas pals.
I’m not worried because I do this every.year. I wait until that last week to get what I need and I look just as ready as those that bought their gifts last March. However, the difference between them and I is that I spent a “bit” more than they did. UGH. When I grow up, I want to be a smarter shopper.
At least I can cook…
This year, and every other year, the one thing my family and friends can’t complain about is lack of delicious food. I can do that! In fact, I do do that!
I also know how to save on some of that food, including the few dollars I saved on this delicious plate of Tex-Mex Cheesy Beef Quiche. You see, Kraft is helping out with great weeknight meals and entertaining ideas to make this Holiday Season somewhat easier. With choices such as their Kraft Recipe Makers or a variety of Kraft Shredded Cheeses, Kraft takes the guess work out of your Holiday Menu Plan.
To add, if you are looking to save on a meal, or two, Kraft is also offering up to $20 in coupons redeemable exclusively at Target, to make food shopping easier, cheaper, and to help you have a GREAT holiday season! And this Quiche is my effort to help you get ahead.
This dish would make a great weeknight meal – it is filled with the delicious flavors of the Southwest and topped with handfuls of Kraft Mexican Style Taco Shredded Cheese. It’s warm, it’s cozy, it’s beautifully spiced, and it will totally give your family something to talk about.
ENJOY!

Should I drain the tomatoes? Otherwise their might be too much liquid.
Can this be made ahead of time and left in the fridge for a day, ahead of baking?
It’s okay. Entirely too much cheese. 1 cup should be more than enough. Don’t add salt. Break out the Nexium!
how many calories is in this?
I love buying shredded cheese, especially for week nights. Barn days are short for time and this is a huge help! I need to shop to so I will see you out there…haha!
Yes please to Tex Mex flavors!
” I spent a “bit” more than they did”
Ouch … maybe you should change your shopping habits just a BIT.
The quiche looks delicious with some of my favourite flavours. Kraft does make some handy products including the mixed cheese variety bags.
Everyone hates snarky comments ……….
Give me a huge slice of this. Such a great all in one meal!
