With my busy schedule, I like do most of my cooking on the weekends. Then I either freeze leftovers or refrigerate them for quick meals during the week. Low carb casseroles and keto soups are some of my favorite make-ahead keto freezer meals.

Perhaps freezer-friendly low carb recipes can be the subject of future posts? There are a lot of meals that can be frozen for later. And this delicious cheesy ground beef dinner pie is definitely one to add to the list!

You may have heard of the Bisquick impossible cheeseburger pie recipe. It was a favorite of mine back in my high carb days. That's why I reworked the original recipe into one that uses low-carb flours instead of Bisquick mix.

This recipe is my take on the original Betty Crocker recipe for Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie recipe. My recipe calls for ingredients I usually have on hand and it’s fast to prepare on those busy nights after work. And it’s a great dish to make when you’re craving some keto McDonald’s food.

Why you'll love it

My family is really picky... but everyone loves cheese. So I can get away with serving them delicious keto meals like this cheesy ground beef pie just about any time. It’s one of those recipes like my bacon cheeseburger casserole that can be served to the whole family even if they also aren't following my ketogenic lifestyle.

This low carb version of the Bisquick impossible cheeseburger pie is perfect dinner on a busy night. Another benefit is that the dish freezes really well. So if you are only cooking for one or two, just put the leftovers in the freezer for a quick and use it as a convenient dinner later.

The Ingredients

The best thing about this recipe is it’s made with common ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen.

Ground Beef

Beef is the most popular ground meat for a burger. To keep this dish on the healthy side, I use lean ground beef, but if you need the fat, by all means use 80/20 instead. In fact, you can use any ground meat in this pie, including turkey, venison, and chicken.

Onion

Chopped onion is cooked with the meat to add in some flavor. You could use onion powder or dry onion flakes instead. Fresh garlic or garlic powder work well too.

Flour

To keep the pie low in carbs, a blend of almond flour and coconut flour are used. If you don’t care for coconut flour, all almond flour can be used instead. You can also replace both with Carbquik if you aren’t gluten-free.

Almond milk

The flour needs liquid to prevent a dry pie. I like to use almond milk but coconut milk is a great alternative. You can also use a 50/50 mix of heavy cream and water.

Eggs

The eggs are what bind the pie together. They add in some additional protein and nutrients too.

Cheese

Shredded cheddar cheese is preferred, but you can use crumbled cheese like blue cheese or feta. The type of cheese used is totally up to you. I used a mild white cheddar but other cheese goes well too. Gouda, Swiss, Blue, and Monterey Jack cheese all go well with a hamburger.

If you were to skip the cheese (I wouldn't), then this would just be a... hamburger pie instead!

Optional: Tomato

I like to top the pie off with cut tomato. But you can top it off with your favorite burger toppings instead. Bacon, dill pickles, ketchup, and mushrooms are some popular ones to try.

Note: You'll find all the exact amount used with the full ingredient list in the recipe carb at the end of this post.

Quick Tips

  • Don't brown before topping. If adding tomatoes and or other toppings, remove the pie before it starts to brown. Then adding your toppings and sprinkle additional cheese on top for best results. Return to oven until top layer has browned.
  • Add a crust. Although it’s not needed, you can definitely add a traditional crust to the pie. My keto pie crust without sweetener would work well for the recipe.
  • Use the broiler to brown up the top quickly after adding your toppings.

Instructions

To make this simple keto cheeseburger pie, just follow these easy steps.

Prepare the ground meat

The ground beef mixture is cooked first. In a large skillet, cook beef with onion over medium heat. It takes about 8 to 10 minutes for the meat to brown.

Then, the beef mixture in spread out evenly in a pie plate. I like to use a 9.5-inch glass pie pan for this cheeseburger pie.

Prep the egg mixture

While the meat is cooking, you can prepare the egg mixture and heat oven to 400°F.

The coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, almond milk, and eggs are then blended in a medium bowl. This mixture is poured on top of the ground beef mixture and allowed to soak in.

preparing the egg and flour mixture

Add cheese

Next, the grated cheese is sprinkled on top. Then pie is then baked in the pre-heated oven for about 25 minutes.

final assembly of the pie

Add optional topping

The optional tomatoes are added at this point if desired. Other cheeseburger condiments like sugar free ketchup or pickles can also be added into the pie.

For extra cheesy goodness, you'll want to sprinkle additional shredded cheese over the toppings.

adding optional tomato topping

After adding optional toppings, the pie is baked for another five minutes. The gluten free cheeseburger pie should be a nice golden brown when taken out of the oven. If needed, the broiler can be used to brown up the top quickly.

That's all there is to making this gluten-free option to the popular Bisquick cheeseburger pie recipe!

Variations

There’s a lot of room for modification in this recipe so feel free to add your favorite seasonings or veggies. If you want a bacon cheeseburger pie, just add in crumbled cooked bacon to the meat mixture.

Green beans or spinach would be nice additions. Or add in some bacon, mushrooms, and other popular burger toppings.

You can also reduce the number of eggs if you wish or add some chia gel.

Serving Suggestions

You can enjoy this cheeseburger pie for any meal of the day.

For breakfast, it goes well with a side of microwaved bacon or baked bacon.

It goes well with a garden salad or cup of keto vegetable soup when serving at lunchtime.

I like to serve it with one of my vegetable low-carb side dishes for dinner. A simple oven roasted asparagus or oven jicama fries are great choices.

    Good meal. Quick fix. I added a shredded carrot to meat and onion. Then some seasonings, garlic pepper, hamburger seasoning,etc. I think I will try sausage to make it a breakfast option. Thanks for sharing. Pop up ads are a nuisance.

    Goodness is how I would explain this recipe. In all honesty I didnt have much hope of it delivering a 'cheeseburger taste' at all. Thinking the flour mixture would take away from the cheese and hamburger but I was proven wrong. It actually added to the depth since not using a burger bun. Only thing I did differently was topped it with tomato, pickle and real bacon bits. May add a dollop of keto mayo for my next piece. Well done and THANK YOU.
    Oh and using a pie plate is perfect!

    This is a home run! So quick, easy and delicious! I use my homemade baking blend of almond flour, coconut flour, ground flaxseed and oat fiber for the flour mix and it came out perfectly. This recipe can be adapted so many ways depending on what flavors you want. It was a huge hit with everyone. Will definitely be making this one often.

    I use this egg mixture with the coconut and almond flours for so many crustless-quiche variations. It is delicious and just the right texture. We have a large family so I double and bake in a 13x9. It works so well - quick, easy, and healthy - AND everyone loves it. Thank you!

    SO GOOD. Just like the cheeseburger pie my mom used to make but healthier! I left out the onions and used onion powder instead for the onion hater in my family. And used regular full-fat milk instead of almond milk. It was delicious and so filling and full of protein and healthy fats. Thanks for the recipe! This will be a staple in my home now. 🙂

    My husband and I really liked this recipe, and he doesn't follow a low carb diet! I used 1/3c cashew flour plus 3T of gluten free flour mixture (for texture) because I'm allergic to almonds but trying to eat low carb. I did add the diced fresh tomato on top with the extra cheese just before the 5 minute browning. I served with diced dill pickle, but my husband suggested a little mustard on the side might be nice since he likes mustard on his burgers. I will definitely make this again!

    This is by far the best keto cheeseburger pie I have made and I’ve tried several recipes too! The crust puffs up perfectly and the pie holds together exceptionally well. Great job with this one, and thank you for posting. Some variations I have used: ground pork mixed with beef, added in bacon, sugar free BBQ sauce or spinach. Fun to try various cheeses too! I’ve used your recipe many times, in fact making again tonight.

    We have tried many low carb cheeseburger pie recipes, and this was by far our least favorite. Even with all our usual toppings, and extra seasonings added, there was very little flavor. Texture was great though! I’d suggest subbing some sour cream for part of the almond milk.

    I want to use Carbquick as I picked that up. I see the post about you still used the baking powder... but what amount of carbquick did you use? 1/3 c up plus 3 tbsp?
    Also if I don't have almond milk can I use whole milk?

      You'll need one half cup Carbquick to replace the coconut and almond flour. Also, whole milk can be used in place of almond milk.

    I have to say "No" to this one. I think it is the coconut flour that kills it for me. We added spices and green chilis to try to give this some flavor, but it still doesn't kill the coconut. It's edible with salsa and sour cream, but, not a redo.

      I had the same experience initially. Maybe it was the spices I used, but the coconut flour really didn't harmonize with the cheeseburger flavors at all. Also the "impossible crust" didn't form the way I expected - at the end of baking, it was thick slab of crust sitting on top of meat, instead of creating a bottom crust. I'm not sure what went wrong. I will say though that after letting the flavors mellow in the refrigerator overnight, the pie was more pleasing the next day. I might try it again with different flavorings.

    What a wonderful surprise! This 'crust' cooked up beautifully! Not only did it taste wonderful, but it looked beautiful too. And best of all, my husband (who is not on low carb) loved it - it does not taste low carb. I served it with a salad and green beans. I didn't make any alterations, always wanting to try a new recipe as written and I can honestly say I wouldn't change a thing.

    I was worried it would be bland, so to the meat mixture I added garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, pepper, sugar free ketchup, and mustard. I also wish I had only used half of the bread/topping. I would have preferred a higher ratio of meat to bread. I topped with minced raw onion, diced dill pickle, and tomato. The kids ate it willingly, so I'm happy!

      I've served it to family members who dislike coconut and they didn't notice.

    This is amazing. It satisfies a desire for a yummy taste that you feel you will not legally taste again. Certainly on my list for the future!

    My daughter just found out she is gluten intolerant and alergic to almonds! I'm trying to find her meals to make with coconut flour. What would happen if I left the almond flour out of this and just added a little bit more of the coconut flour?

      You could use just coconut flour, but I'm not sure what the impact of adding a bit more coconut flour would do. You definitely don't want to add as much as almond flour.

    I was wondering if I could use just gluten free flour and I am lactose intolerant so would lactose milk work.

      The flours listed are gluten free but you can replace them with another gluten free flour if desired.

      I like to serve this one with a cold salad. But since it's a cheeseburger pie, some jicama fries or roasted radishes would go well with it.

    Instead of pouring the mixed ingredience over the cooked meat could you pour into pie plate , bake it for a certain amount of time and then top with meat with cheese on top. If so how long would you bake the flour mixture before adding the meat topped with cheese. Thank you

    I made this tonight and it was so good! I put 3 cloves of minced garlic on top after the salt step. I also added some fresh chopped mushrooms I had on hand to the beef and onion saute. The sliced tomatoes on top were a nice touch too. My husband went for seconds!

      • Lisa

        May 05, 2016 at 10:42 am

        I usually just dilute heavy cream with water and use it as a low carb milk. So, yes, you can use those as subs for almond milk.

    I made this last night. It was absolutely wonderful. This was my first time cooking with almond / coconut flour! I added spinach under the first layer of cheese. I also topped it with tomatoes (then added more cheese on top) for the last 5 minutes of baking. I'm looking forward to cooking some more of your food ideas! 🙂

    My husband is allergic to Tree Nuts so I am unable to use Almond Flour and Milk. What would be the best substitution for the top crust while keeping it a low carb recipe?

      Sunflower seed meal is a great sub for almond flour. You can use any low carb milk. It doesn't have to be almond milk, even a mix of half heavy cream and half water would be okay.

        I've never read the label for rice milk, so not sure if I am right, but it would seem that rice milk is not low carb because, well....rice.

        I'm pretty sure you are correct. The starch would certainly carry over into the liquid.

      You could use mashed cauliflower on top. It would be like a cheesy shepherds pie! plus, its always good to get those veggies in! 🙂

    I made this last night. I spiced it up with Adobe seasoning, "herbs de province" and organic season salt. Next time I think I would grease the pie plate and added some fresh Spinach on the bottom of the pan then layer the rest. I even had left overs for breakfast today. I'd make this again.

    coukd you use almond flour instead of coconut flour? Also is the baking powder correct?

    Reply

      January 12, 2015 at 8:32 pm

      I think it was supposed to be 3 tablespoons of almond flour and a teaspoon of baking powder. You could try almond flour only, but liquid may Ned to be reduced.

      I'm gonna have to make this again because I think the ingredient list was transferred incorrectly and I need to verify each amount.

        You could try using all almond flour or sub the coconut flour with a low carb baking mix.

      I agree that it does seem like too much. I bet it would be better with less, especially since it doesn't require much rising. I don't remember why I added that much or if it was meant to be another ingredient like almond flour. I write a lot of things down by hand and sometimes I miss a line when typing it up. The most baking powder I usually add is about a teaspoon. I made this on a really busy evening so it's very possible I missed something, especially trying to type with an very active toddler at my heels.

        It's about a half cup to replace the other flours.
