Recipe: Keto Savory Bacon Cheeseburger Pie
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
- 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey, chicken, or a meat substitute)
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup diced dill pickles
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
For the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted unsalted butter, and salt. Stir until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
- Press the almond flour mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish to form a crust.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden. Remove it from the oven and set it aside.
For the Filling:
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef (or your preferred protein) until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the cooked meat. Sauté for a few minutes until the onions are translucent. Remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat mixture, diced dill pickles, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, unsweetened almond milk, and eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the egg mixture over the meat mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
Assembling and Baking:
- Pour the meat and egg mixture into the pre-baked almond flour crust, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
