Introduction

Cheeseburger Pie is a comforting, savory dish that brings the flavors of a classic cheeseburger into a delicious, easy-to-make pie. It combines seasoned ground beef with a fluffy almond and coconut flour crust, topped with melted cheese and optional fresh tomato slices for a satisfying meal.

A round clear glass dish holds a baked casserole with a golden-brown bubbly cheese top layer mixed with small chunks of bright red tomatoes, giving it a slightly uneven texture. The cheese layer looks creamy and thick, with some darker toasted spots scattered across the surface. The dish sits on an orange textured cloth, with a few sprigs of green herbs at the edge. The background is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (or venison burger)
1 cup onion (chopped)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup coconut flour
3 Tablespoons almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
4 large eggs
1½ cups cheese (shredded)
1 tomato (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the ground beef and chopped onion in a skillet over medium heat until the meat is browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 2: Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly into a pie plate and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, almond milk, and eggs until smooth.
Step 4: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the beef in the pie plate, then sprinkle about 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.
Step 5: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 25 minutes, until the custard is set and the cheese is melted.
Step 6: Remove the pie from the oven, top with optional tomato slices and the remaining cheese if desired.
Step 7: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.

Tips & Variations

For added flavor, try mixing in some garlic powder or smoked paprika to the beef before baking.
Swap the beef for ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
If you prefer, use cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend of your favorite cheeses.
Add pickles, mustard, or ketchup on the side to mimic classic cheeseburger toppings.

Storage

Store leftover cheeseburger pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven until warmed through. For longer storage, you can freeze the pie for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

How to Serve

The pizza has three visible layers: the bottom layer is a crumbly, light brown meat mixture, the middle layer is creamy and slightly textured, and the top layer is melted, lightly browned cheese with small red tomato pieces and green herb bits scattered on it. The plate sits on a bright orange textured cloth, and in the background, a round glass dish with the whole pizza is slightly blurred. Small green herbs are sprinkled on the plate around the slice. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of coconut and almond flour?

Yes, you can substitute with all-purpose flour, but the texture and flavor will differ. Adjust the amount as needed since coconut and almond flours absorb moisture differently.

Is this recipe suitable for keto or low-carb diets?

Absolutely. Using coconut and almond flours instead of traditional flour helps keep this dish low in carbs, making it keto-friendly.

1/3 cup coconut flour
3 Tablespoons almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
4 large eggs

Optional Toppings

1 tomato, sliced (optional)

Instructions

Cook the beef and onions: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion together until the meat is fully browned and onions are softened, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Prepare the pie base: Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly into a pie plate. Sprinkle the half teaspoon of salt over the beef mixture for seasoning.
Mix the batter: In a separate bowl, combine the coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, unsweetened almond milk, and eggs. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well blended to form the batter.
Assemble the pie: Pour the batter evenly over the beef mixture in the pie plate. Then sprinkle about 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly on top.

Add optional toppings: Remove the pie from the oven and if desired, top with sliced tomato and sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese on top for extra cheesiness.
Finish baking: Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese and soften the tomato for a perfect finish.

Feel free to use venison burger instead of ground beef for a richer flavor.
Optional toppings such as sliced green onions, pickles, or jalapeños can be added to customize the pie.
This recipe is gluten-free and low-carb thanks to the use of coconut and almond flours.
Serving with a side salad or steamed vegetables complements the richness of the pie well.
