Instructions
-
Brown the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the hamburger meat. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, break it apart as it cooks, allowing it to brown evenly for approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
-
-
Add Onions: Once the meat is nicely browned, introduce the chopped onions to the skillet. Stir them into the meat mixture, cooking until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Incorporate the Flavor: Now, it’s time to enhance the dish with the green chilies, Ro-Tel tomatoes, and black beans. Sprinkle in the cumin and chili powder, stirring everything together to ensure an even distribution of spices. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld beautifully.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until they are well mixed. Add salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce to the eggs. Then, incorporate the sour cream and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
-
Combine Ingredients: Pour the egg mixture into the meat mixture in the skillet, stirring gently but thoroughly to blend all the ingredients together. Finally, fold in the shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, ensuring it is evenly dispersed throughout the mixture.
-
Assemble the Quiche: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare two unbaked pie crusts and pour an equal amount of the filling into each one, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even layer.
-
Bake: Place the quiches in the preheated oven and bake for 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until the quiche is set in the center and the top is golden brown. You may want to check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean when the quiche is fully cooked.
-
Cool and Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the quiches from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, and enjoy the southwestern flavors that make this quiche a beloved dish in your home!
