Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I use this recipe to convince my vegetarian friends to cross over to the dark (meaty) side?
While this Carnivore Cheeseburger Pie could tempt even the staunchest herbivores, you might bolster your case by sharing a few thought-provoking YouTube videos and scientific articles highlighting the potential downsides of a vegan diet.
Is it really a pie if there’s no crust?
In the spirit of culinary innovation, I say yes! This crustless wonder is redefining pie norms one cheesy, beefy slice at a time. It’s the pie that dared to go bare!
Will this pie fit into my diet?
Well, if your diet celebrates the glorious trifecta of meat, eggs, and cheese, then you’re in luck! For those on more green-inclined paths, this might be your cheat day hall-of-famer to ensure you’ll get your vital nutrients and something proper to eat!
How do I justify eating this for breakfast?
Call it a ‘protein-packed power start’ or ‘morning meat-up.’ When it tastes this good, any justification will do. Plus, who made the rules about breakfast food anyway?
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! Bake it in advance and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready, just reheat and watch the cheese melt all over again — because the only thing better than once-melted, oozing cheese is twice-melted, oozing cheese.
What’s the best way to serve this culinary masterpiece?
With a side of humor and a dash of pride. Serve it hot, garnish with a wink, and watch as your guests marvel at the beefy, cheesy spectacle before them.
Is this pie the secret to achieving inner peace?
While I can’t guarantee full-on zen, those on a carnivore diet often report feeling more tranquil and happier, with some even using it to manage mental illnesses. So, this pie might just bring you a slice closer to inner peace — or at the very least, bestow upon you the bliss of a truly satisfied tummy.
Is there a way to make this pie even more indulgent?
You bet! Try adding crispy bacon bits or a drizzle of gourmet burger sauce on top, and for even more lavish twists, be sure to check out my Tips for Variations section to jazz up your pie to the next level of indulgence.
Remember, the only silly question is the one not asked — especially if it’s about adding more cheese.
Step-by-Step Instructions on How to Prepare This Cheesy Carnivore Pie
Prepare your taste buds for a joyride and your kitchen for a little shake-up! We’re about to dive into the nitty-gritty of pie-making magic, where the cheese is gooey, the meat is hearty, and the only thing we’re shredding is… well, more cheese. Follow these steps to create a cheeseburger pie that’s so indulgently satisfying that it might just make your other dishes jealous. Let’s get that oven fired up and bake our way to the hall of fame of home-cooked meat marvels!
First, take 1 lb (450 g) of fatty ground beef and cook it in butter or tallow until it’s as crumbled as your last attempt at origami.
Transfer the meat into a 9-inch (23 cm) glass or ceramic pie pan. It’s the beef’s new home; no mortgage required.
Next, take a mixing bowl and combine 3 organic free-range eggs, because happy chickens lay the tastiest plot twists…
…3 tablespoons water to keep the plot from thickening too soon…
…2 cups (470 ml) shredded sharp cheese because it’s not a party without the cheese…
…and 1 teaspoon (or to taste) unrefined sea salt in the bowl. It’s the dash of sass your pie needs.
Whisk until well combined. You’re the conductor, and that whisk is your baton.
Like this; gorgeously frothy.
Pour the mixture over the meat in the pie pan.
Make sure to spread the cheese evenly on top. It’s the pie’s crowning glory. If desired, you can sprinkle some extra cheese on top. Because who says no to more cheese?
Here we go, ready for the oven.
Bake at 350 °F (175 °C) for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown. It’s not sunbathing; it’s cheesebathing.
Remove from the oven.
Let set for 10 minutes, and serve.
Cheesy bliss!
How I Came Up with This Easy Carnivore Recipe
Last week was a whirlwind, but this week, I had a moment to breathe and cook up something special. As a self-professed carnivore, I needed a recipe that wouldn’t make me a herbivore by association.
On Thursday, I tried a carnivore dough that looked fab but tasted like munching on a cardboard box. Not cool. So, I ditched that idea faster than a cat dodging bath time.
Then, inspiration struck! Why not a meaty, no-veggie pie? I had done savory and sweet Easter pie recipes for my Finnish readers, so why not here? I decided on a fatty ground beef base — because, meat — and mixed it with eggs and cheese, tossing in a splash of water for a lighter touch.
Brown the beef, layer it in the pie pan, drown it in the egg-cheese magic, and bake until it’s a golden-brown beacon of yum. The result? The “Carnivore Cheeseburger Pie,” a cheesy, meaty wonder that’s all satisfaction, no fluff. It’s the kind of dish that makes you go “Mmmmh” with every bite.
Here’s the recipe for you to enjoy:

General Prattling
What a week it has been in my kitchen, folks! I’ve been whisking and whirling through Easter recipes, all to the delight of my Finnish fans, who just can’t get enough of those holiday flavors. I dove fork-first into the world of paskha, and oh boy, did I strike creamy gold with an airy, mousse-like version that’s got me floating on cloud nine.
And here’s a fun fact to top off the week: Exactly 11 years ago to the day, I published my first keto paskha recipe right here on this blog. Talk about a delicious coincidence!
But the bliss of the week (in addition to this Carnivore Cheeseburger Pie)? Beef cheeks. I slow-cooked them to such tender perfection, I swear I heard angels sing with every melt-in-your-mouth bite. It was a culinary hug that had me misty-eyed and reaching for seconds.
I didn’t stop there, though. My oven’s been a hotbed of innovation as I tackled not one, not two, but three keto spins on keto quark-filled buns. These Finnish treats are an Easter staple, and I was on a mission to make them low-carb without losing their soul. The result? A trio of taste-test triumphs that had me patting myself on the back.
Let’s not forget the zesty zing of my keto lemon cheesecake — tart, moderately sweet, and everything neat. And for my grand finale, a crustless quark pie that’s so carnivore-friendly, it might just growl. Just a hint of lemon juice and a whisper of sweetener, and voilà, a pie that’s practically primal.
Amidst all this baking bliss, I was also on a fat-finding safari, tracking down the finest Highlander cattle fat to craft my very own tallow. Stay tuned for the meltiest, tastiest tallow tales, fresh from my kitchen to yours!

PS. Do you ever sleep?

I’m thrilled to have inspired your next culinary quest! As for the waiting game, consider it a “patience-building exercise” — good things come to those who let their pie rest. And sleep? That’s what the 10-minute countdown is for; I take power naps while the flavors meld. Happy cooking!
