Keto Cheeseburger Pie
This recipe for Keto Cheeseburger Pie is an adaption of the recipe that was on the Bisquick box (not sure if it still on the box, but that is where I got it from). I used to make this recipe a lot when I ate carbs because my kids loved it. What is not to love? It is like a cheeseburger with a biscuit topping. That is a winner in my book and it is super easy to boot.
To Meat or Not to Meat
I do make this with ground turkey because I do not like all the grease from hamburger meat, but you can certainly use hamburger meat with this. That would be really good too. Just add a little fat like butter if you use turkey meat to make it more keto-friendly. I also make a vegetarian version of this. So every time I make this for dinner I have to make one with meat and one vegetarian because my husband and son eat do not really eat meat. If you wanted to make this vegetarian you could certainly do that just by replacing the meat with a meat alternative and make the rest of it just as you normally would.
Easy Is Always Good
This is a recipe that you can make any day of the week or meal prep to have a quick and easy dinner that everyone will love. Furthermore, you could even cook up the meat and onion and freeze it, then when you want to make this just microwave the meat until it is hot. Pour into the pie plate and then finish the rest of the recipe. I have been cooking up ground meat and freezing it for quick and easy dinners for years. I also do this with taco seasoning for quick taco dinners. It just makes it much easier and who doesn’t like easy dinners.

Keto Cheeseburger Pie
Ingredients
Filling:
- 1 lb. ground beef or turkey
- ½ large onion chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Biscuit Topping:
- 1 ½ cup almond flour
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- 4 Tbsp. melted butter
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease a pie plate with cooking spray and set aside.
- Brown ground meat with the chopped onion. You can use hamburger meat or ground turkey. If you use hamburger meat, drain the grease off on a paper towel after cooking. I prefer using ground turkey because I do not like all the extra grease.
- After meat and onion are fully cooked (and drained if you are are using hamburger), put into the greased pie plate and sprinkle shredded cheese over the meat.
- Put all of the biscuit top ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon.
- Pour the biscuit top mixture over the top of meat and cheese and spread to the edges so that the whole top is covered.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Cut and serve hot. Serve with "no sugar added" ketchup or barbecue sauce.

Very good recipe! We added porta Bella mushrooms and cream cheese to the meat. Yum!
I’m not sure if you intended to use baking soda or baking powder. I used baking powder.

The recipe is correct with using baking soda because I also included apple cider vinegar. I am sure that was very delicious with the addition of the mushrooms and cream cheese.

Recipe was good. But it stunk like chemicals. I will never ever use baking soda or apple cider vinegar in any of my recipes again. Use baking power only. I made keto cookies with baking soda it was terrible and it stunk the next day. I threw them all out. Baking with almond flour is very expensive to just throw food away.

I am not sure why you had that experience. Apple cider vinegar is a very strong-smelling ingredient so not sure if that was what you are referring to as a chemical smell.

Good to know! I was out of baking soda and the link was to baking powder so I took a chance, lol. Thank you for the great recipe!

Didn’t have sour cream so used yogurt, it was great! Otherwise as written. My husband had double helpings, and he’s not easy to please.

Linda, so glad that you and your husband enjoyed the recipe. 😁

Hi! This was the best keto Cheeseburger Pie we have tried. We have tried other recipes which were too heavy or not a substantial crust. We’ve also tried the Carbquick version (not a good experience with flavor). Yours was spot on. I made it last night and husband agrees it was the best. I froze the leftovers. Next time I may add a little SF BBQ sauce or chili powder and cumin for another type of flavor. Thanks so much for posting this!! Gary

This recipe was delicious and easy to prepare. I was a little surprised by the addition of vinegar, but assumed it was to activate the baking soda. Regardless, the biscuit top was light and tasty. I will be making this again soon! Thanks for a great recipe.

Yes, the apple cider vinegar was to activate the baking soda. Glad you enjoyed the recipe. Thank you for the comment. 😊
