👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Cook the Bacon

  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Cook chopped bacon until crispy.
  3. Remove bacon and set aside, reserving a little bacon fat in the pan.

2. Brown the Ground Beef

  1. In the same skillet, add ground beef to the bacon fat.
  2. Cook until browned and no longer pink.
  3. Season with salt and pepper (and garlic powder if using).
  4. Drain excess grease if needed.
  5. Stir the cooked bacon back in.

3. Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a bowl, whisk together:

  • Eggs
  • Heavy cream
  • Salt
  • Pepper

This mixture binds the pie and keeps it creamy.


4. Assemble the Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spread the cooked beef and bacon mixture evenly in a greased pie dish or 8×8 baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the meat.
  4. Pour egg mixture evenly over everything.

5. Bake

  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the top is golden, the center is set, and the edges are bubbly.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

🍽️ How to Serve

Although carnivore recipes often stand alone, you can pair this pie with:

  • A side of more bacon
  • Fried eggs
  • Extra cheese melted on top
  • For keto eaters: pickles, mustard, or sugar-free ketchup

🔥 Tips for the Best Carnivore Cheeseburger Pie

  • Use 80/20 ground beef for maximum juiciness.
  • Add more eggs for a firmer, more quiche-like texture.
  • Top with extra cheese before baking for a golden, bubbly crust.
  • Let it rest before slicing—it holds together better.

🍛 Carnivore Variations

  • All-Beef Version: Leave out bacon and add more beef.
  • Cheeseburger Deluxe: Add extra cheese layers.
  • Breakfast Pie: Replace beef with sausage and top with crispy bacon.
  • Zero-Carb: Omit garlic powder and season only with salt.
