LOW carb- Heavenly Hamburger Pie

HEAVENLY CHEESEBURGER PIE
1.5 pounds ground beef 
1/4 cup onion, chopped, 2.0 ounces  
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded 
2/3 cup heavy cream 
5 eggs
A dash of cayenne
A dash of black pepper

Brown the meat and onion, seasoning with salt, pepper and whatever spices you choose; drain the grease. Beat the eggs with the cream and cayenne & pepper in a large bowl. Add the meat and cheese and mix well. Pour into a greased 9 1/2-10" pie plate. Bake at 400º 25-30 minutes until browned and it appears set. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting ....don't be afraid of adding a splash of hot sauce if the person enjoys some "kick" in their meal!

Makes 8 servings ; 3.2 grams net carbs per serving

So good and the whole family can enjoy this without them knowing how low carb it really is.

So you like to cook, huh?

Weren't you telling me something to use instead of the heavy cream?

You think we could use greek yogurt instead of heavy cream for a little added protein(as if there isn't already enough...lol)

Sounds great! I can't wait to make it. Thanks so much for posting both of your recipes.

And YES....you can use half and half...

and YES.... you can use yogurt... (it will taste a bit different, but not in a bad way...).

and YES....I love to cook...  I leave the cleaning for those pople that I cook for....

More recipes to follow later!

Wow this sounds yummy, thanks!

Thank you!

You could also use low-fat Evap Milk in place of heavy cream (it's very creamy tasting).  I use this when I make green bean casserole for a creamier flavor (instead of milk).

Also, for a different flavor - try adding cumin and a little chili powder :)

 

Thanks for sharing!

Hello
would you mind sharing your Strawberry custard pie recipe with me?
Please

Here it is and I was told it was also very good with fresh or frozen blackberries or blueberries.  I think the next one I make I'll try some fresh ripe or frozen peaches.

Strawberry Custard Pie

Ingredients
1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell, deepdish
2 C. fresh strawberries
4 eggs
2/3 C. splenda
1 & 1/3 C. Hoods calorie countdown milk
1tsp. vanilla

Directions
Sprinkle cleaned strawberries in bottom of pie shell.  Mix beaten eggs,splenda, milk & vanilla together and pour over strawberries. 
Bake at 400 degrees until custard tests done with a knife comming clean when stuck halfway between the rim and the middle.
In my oven it took 30-35 min.  Keep an eye on it after 30 minutes as it can overbrown quickly.  
May be served warm or chilled,  ( I like it ice cold)
Enjoy
