- A side of more bacon

🔥 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

- Zero-Carb: Omit garlic powder and season only with salt.
