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:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted unsalted butter, and salt. Stir until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
3. Press the almond flour mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish to form a crust.
4. 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:

1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef (or your preferred protein) until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the cooked meat. Sauté for a few minutes until the onions are translucent. Remove from heat.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked meat mixture, diced dill pickles, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, unsweetened almond milk, and eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Pour the egg mixture over the meat mixture and stir until everything is well combined.

Assembling and Baking:

1. Pour the meat and egg mixture into the pre-baked almond flour crust, spreading it out evenly.
2. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown.
3. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
