How to Make Carnivore Cheeseburger Pie Step by Step

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2: Cook the Beef

In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain any excess grease to keep the pie from being too oily.

Step 3: Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and optional garlic and onion powders until smooth.

Step 4: Assemble the Pie

Spread the cooked beef evenly in the pie dish, sprinkle with shredded cheddar and mozzarella, and pour the egg mixture on top, ensuring it covers the ingredients evenly.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 30–35 minutes until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly and golden. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 6: Serve

Serve warm as a comforting meal on its own or with a simple green salad for balance.

Expert Tips

Try different cheeses like Gouda or Monterey Jack for variety. Make sure to drain the beef well to prevent the custard from being watery. You can also prepare the pie ahead of time and bake it just before serving.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 325°F (160°C) until warmed through or in the microwave for a quick option.

What to Serve With

Pair with a crisp green salad, roasted vegetables, or even a low-carb bread for a complete, satisfying meal.
