How to Make Carnivore Bacon Cheeseburger Pie
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish lightly with cooking spray or a dab of butter.
2. Cook the Bacon
Place bacon in a skillet and cook over medium heat until crispy. Set aside on paper towels, then crumble once cooled.
3. Brown the Beef
In the same pan, cook the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain off excess fat if needed, but leave a little for flavor.

4. Mix the Filling
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooked beef, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese.
5. Pour and Bake
Pour the mixture into your pie dish. Spread it evenly. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden.
6. Rest and Slice
Let the pie rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up for easy serving.
How to Serve Carnivore Cheeseburger Pie
This pie is rich and filling on its own. Here are a few simple serving ideas:
- Plain: Serve slices as-is for a pure carnivore-friendly meal.
- With Sauce: Add a drizzle of sugar-free ketchup or mustard if your diet allows.
- For Kids: Serve with a side of scrambled eggs or sausage links.
Storing Carnivore Bacon Cheeseburger Pie
- Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freezer: Wrap individual slices in foil and freeze for up to 2 months.
- Reheating: Microwave for 1–2 minutes or warm in the oven at 325°F for 10 minutes.
Tips and Tricks for Success
- Don’t Overcook: Remove the pie from the oven once the center is just set. It will continue to cook as it rests.
- Use Room Temp Eggs: Helps the mixture blend more evenly.
- Drain Fat Wisely: Too much fat can make the pie greasy. Drain just enough to keep moisture without sogginess.
- Make Ahead: You can prep the beef and bacon in advance and store in the fridge to save time.

Carnivore Bacon Cheeseburger Pie Recipe FAQs
Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?
Yes, but the flavor and fat content will be different. Turkey is leaner and less juicy.
Is this recipe keto-friendly?
Yes. It’s low in carbs and high in fat and protein, which works well for keto and carnivore diets.
Can I make it dairy-free?
This recipe relies on cheese and cream, so it’s not ideal for dairy-free diets. You could omit cheese and sub with egg yolks or ghee, but texture will change.
How do I know when it’s done?
The center should be set and no longer jiggle when gently shaken. The top will be golden.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes. Use a 9×13 baking dish and bake for 35–40 minutes, checking for doneness at the center.
