Make a comforting, low-carb keto cheeseburger pie using a simple fathead dough crust. This recipe delivers classic cheeseburger flavor without the carbs for an easy keto main dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup ketchup substitute (low carb)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (check carb count)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle slices, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. Prepare the fathead crust: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
  3. Stir the almond flour and egg into the melted cheese mixture until a dough forms. Press this dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie dish to form the crust. Bake the crust for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly golden.
  4. While the crust bakes, cook the filling: Brown the ground beef and chopped onion in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  5. Stir in the salt, pepper, low-carb ketchup substitute, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce into the cooked beef mixture. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring to coat.
  6. Remove the crust from the oven. Spread half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the bottom of the hot crust.
  7. Spoon the beef mixture evenly over the cheese layer in the crust. Sprinkle the chopped dill pickles over the beef.
  8. Top the pie with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Return the pie to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the filling is heated through.
  10. Let the keto cheeseburger pie cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • To prevent a soggy bottom crust, make sure your oven is fully preheated before you put the crust in for its initial bake.
  • You can substitute ground turkey for ground beef if desired for a different flavor profile.
  • For a richer flavor, add 1/4 cup of finely diced bell pepper along with the onion when browning the meat.
