Not only does it taste like a cheeseburger, but it’s also super easy to whip up and perfect for those busy weeknights when you want something hearty, delicious, and keto-friendly.
And the best part? It’s made with Carbquik, a keto game-changer that gives you that biscuit-like texture without all the carbs! I promised you versatile, and here’s proof. Let’s dive into the recipe so you can get this on your table ASAP!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup Carbquik mix
- 8 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 medium onion, chopped (optional, but adds great flavor!)
Step-by-step: How to Make Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Pie
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prep your pie plate by spraying it with a no-stick spray or greasing it with butter.
- Brown the ground beef over medium heat in a skillet until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and add the browned ground beef. Mix it well to coat the meat.
- To the same bowl, add Carbquik mix, salt, 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, milk, and onions (if using). Stir everything together until it’s well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the greased pie plate, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top for that golden, bubbly layer (and add a little extra if you’re a cheese lover like me!).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pie is set and the cheese is golden and melted.
- Let it cool for a few minutes, slice it up, and dig in!

Helpful Tips
- Watch your baking time! Everyone’s oven is a little different, so check the pie at around 20 minutes to make sure it’s not overcooking. You want it golden on top and set in the middle.
- For crispier bacon bits, sprinkle some extra crumbled bacon on top before baking.
- Serving suggestion: Top with a dollop of sour cream, or add a side of keto-friendly pickles for that full cheeseburger experience!
Substitutions and Variations
One of the best things about this recipe is how adaptable it is! Here are a few ways you can tweak it to fit your taste:
- No Carbquik on hand? You can substitute with almond flour, but be aware it may not hold together as firmly.
- Dairy-free option: Swap the cheddar cheese with a dairy-free cheese alternative and use almond milk instead of cow’s milk.
- Add more veggies: Toss in some finely chopped mushrooms or bell peppers to sneak in extra nutrients while keeping the carbs low.
- Different meats: Ground turkey or pork can be used instead of beef, or you could even do a mix!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before baking. Just pop it in the oven when you’re ready!
Can I freeze Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Pie?
Yes! After baking, let it cool completely. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until warmed through.
What’s the best way to reheat leftovers?
Reheating in the oven at 350°F will keep the pie from getting soggy. Microwaving works too, but it might soften the crust a bit more.
