Ingredients
Scale
Meat Mixture
- 1 lb ground beef (or venison burger)
- 1 cup chopped onion
- ½ teaspoon salt
Crust and Batter
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 4 large eggs
Toppings
- 1½ cups shredded cheese (divided)
- 1 tomato (optional)
Instructions
- Cook Beef and Onions: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef and chopped onion together until the meat is browned and fully cooked, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to break the meat into crumbles.
- Prepare Pie Plate: Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly into a pie plate, then sprinkle the ½ teaspoon of salt over the meat mixture to season.
- Mix Dry Ingredients and Batter: In a separate bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, and baking powder thoroughly. Then whisk in the almond milk and eggs, mixing until smooth to create the batter.
- Assemble Pie: Pour the batter evenly over the meat mixture in the pie plate. Then sprinkle approximately 1 cup of shredded cheese on top of the batter layer to prepare for baking.
- Bake Initial Layer: Place the pie plate in a preheated oven at 400°F (204°C) and bake for about 25 minutes, until the batter is set and edges are golden.
- Add Toppings: Remove the pie from the oven and add the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese on top. If desired, add sliced tomato on top for freshness and added flavor.
- Final Bake: Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to melt the remaining cheese and soften the tomato slightly.
Notes
- Use ground venison as an alternative to beef for a leaner option.
- Optional toppings include sliced pickles, mustard, or your favorite low-carb condiments after baking.
- Be sure to use unsweetened almond milk to maintain low-carb count.
- The crust batter relies on coconut and almond flour to keep the dish keto and gluten-free.
- Check the pie around 25 minutes to avoid overbaking; oven temperatures can vary.
