We had our first eggplant ripen in the garden the other day. And, I was so excited to use it in a new low carb recipe.

I saw a casserole recipe made with a hamburger crust that I wanted to try. So, I modified the recipe to add eggplant. The result was delicious. It reminded me of a moussaka pizza that I used to love eating as a child.

You’ll love that this low carb hamburger pie casserole uses seasoned ground beef as the crust. This makes it a super easy dish to prepare.

And, there’s no fiddling with any special low carb crust. It’s a meal made with every day ingredients so you won’t have to worry about not being able to find specialty items.

This hamburger pie casserole is made by layering the ingredients in the dish. And, it uses pizza like toppings that the whole family is sure to love.

The bottom of the pie is seasoned ground beef which is then topped with eggplant, tomato sauce, spices and cheese. It’s super easy to make and is full of flavor.

I’m putting this one on the regular dinner rotation. Although you can make this casserole without the eggplant, I think it’s a delicious add.

You can change up the cheese if you’d like. But, mozzarella gave this hamburger pie casserole a traditional Italian taste like a pizza pie.

No matter how you slice this one, it’s sure to be a winner with your friends and family. If you want a few more ideas for using eggplant, check out these low carb eggplant recipes.

I highly recommend the eggplant parmesan casserole recipe. It’s one of my favorites and certainly worth the extra effort needed to bake it.

If you want to make this low carb hamburger pie with eggplant in the middle of the summer, you may not want to turn on the oven. No worries! I’ve also made this dish successfully in the crock pot. You can see that version here.
