Easy Cheeseburger Pie Recipe (Keto, Low-Carb) Recipe

Introduction

This Easy Cheeseburger Pie is a delicious low-carb, keto-friendly dish that combines savory ground beef with a light, fluffy almond and coconut flour crust. Perfect for a quick dinner, it’s packed with flavor and topped with melty cheese for all the cheeseburger satisfaction without the bun.

The image shows a slice of layered casserole on a white plate with intricate floral patterns, placed on a white marbled surface. The casserole has three distinct layers: a browned, slightly crispy top layer with melted golden cheese, a creamy light middle layer, and a firm bottom layer filled with cooked ground meat that is brown with visible small chunks. The slice is seasoned with specks of black pepper. Next to the casserole slice, there are three crinkle-cut pickle slices that are green and shiny, and a small white cup filled with thick, glossy red ketchup. Part of another white plate with a similar casserole slice topped with ketchup lines is visible at the top right corner, and a glass baking dish with the remaining casserole sits at the back. A wooden utensil rests beside the plate with a yellow and white striped cloth nearby. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

How to Serve

A white plate holds a round shepherd's pie with a golden yellow mashed potato topping that looks creamy and smooth, with slightly browned and crisp edges. The pie has a thick layer of cooked minced beef with visible herbs and vegetables beneath the potatoes. A slice is taken out, showing the meat layer's rich brown texture and the soft, fluffy potatoes on top. Small green herb leaves are scattered lightly over the potato layer for decoration.
