Tips & Variations

Try adding pickles or sautéed mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.

Substitute almond milk with regular milk if not avoiding dairy.
For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the meat mixture.

How to Serve

A slice of baked savory pie is placed on a white plate with a thin gold rim, resting on an orange textured cloth over a white marbled surface. The slice shows three clear layers: a bottom layer of crumbly cooked ground meat in light brown, a thick middle layer of creamy white cheese mixed with small meat bits, and a top layer of melted cheese that is golden with scattered small red tomato pieces and a few green herb sprinkles. In the blurred background, the full pie in a clear glass pie dish is visible, showing the same golden melted cheese top. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasoning

1 lb ground beef (or venison burger)
1 cup onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt

Crust and Batter

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

Toppings

1½ cups cheese, shredded
1 tomato (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Meat: In a medium skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the meat is fully browned and the onions are softened, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if desired.
Prepare the Base: Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly into a pie plate. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon salt over the meat to season it evenly.
Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, almond flour, and baking powder. Add unsweetened almond milk and eggs, whisking thoroughly until you have a smooth, pourable batter.
Assemble the Pie: Pour the egg flour mixture evenly over the beef in the pie plate. Sprinkle about 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Bake the Pie: Place the pie in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for about 25 minutes, until the egg mixture is set and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Add Toppings: Remove the pie from the oven. Top with the optional sliced tomato and the remaining ½ cup of cheese for extra flavor and a colorful garnish.
Finish Baking: Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese on top and warm the tomato slices.

Notes

You can substitute ground venison or turkey for the beef for a leaner option.
Other toppings such as sliced pickles, mustard, or cooked bacon pieces can be added after baking for extra flavor.
Using almond and coconut flours makes this recipe gluten-free and low-carb.
Ensure the pie plate is oven-safe and of a suitable size (around 9 inches) for even cooking.
Let the pie cool slightly before slicing to help it set and hold together better.
