We are so in love with this Low Carb Cheeseburger Pie with Beef recipe because it tastes like real burgers from the grill!
It is compatible with all ingredients you’d eat with regular burgers – from mayo and mustard to lettuce and jalapenos. The recipe is gluten-free. It uses almond flour instead of enriched white bread while keeping the same taste.
Almond flour is how you make gluten free cheeseburger pie. It’s also an excellent source of healthy fats and fiber to help fill you up and stabilize blood sugar levels at the same time. The bacon and beef contribute to this dish’s satiety without tacking on the carbs.
As a processed meat, it’s important to buy a high-quality brand of bacon that comes from organic, pasture-raised sources raised without the use of antibiotics, added sugars, hormones, or nitrates.
You could enhance the nutrition of this dish by adding low-carb veggies, such as onions, bell peppers, and spinach. The healthy fats in this recipe from the cheese will help you absorb the antioxidant nutrients from the veggies!
For those of you who love to grill, but sometimes need a break from it, this recipe is going to make your life easier and save you time. It cooks as a casserole instead of on the grill.
We let the oven do all the work while we walk around and enjoy the smell of roasted meat and melted cheese. The best part is you’ll have a meal ready in 30 minutes!
You can adjust the ingredients to your family’s favorite flavors. Prepare pies in smaller round pans and assemble meat and cheeses, but use different spices or veggies. You only have to combine, bake, and serve. It’s very simple!
Keto Cheeseburger Pie is one of those dishes you can make at the last minute when you are stuck with ideas, but crave a quick healthy meal. You don’t need many dishes either, which cuts down on your kitchen cleaning time. Enjoy baking!
How to
Preheat the oven to 400F. Prepare an 8-inch baking pan and set aside.
Cut bacon into small pieces and transfer into the frying pan over medium heat. As the bacon fat starts to melt, add in chopped onion and ground beef. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the beef gets a nice brown color. Remove from heat.
Transfer the mixture in the prepared pan.
Cover the meat with shredded cheese and cheddar slices.
For the creamy filling – beat one egg in a bowl then mix in almond flour, salt, baking powder, and heavy cream. Stir until homogeneous. You can also use coconut flour as a baking flour (see Coconut Flour Vs Almond Flour).
Pour the flour mixture over the cheeses.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Let the pie cool for a while before serving. Top with your favorite topping and grab a big bowl of salad to enjoy with.
