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)
- 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.
