If you’re looking for a rich, filling, and completely carnivore-friendly meal, this Carnivore Meat Pie is a must-try.

Unlike traditional meat pies, this version skips the crust entirely, keeping things low-carb and packed with protein. The combination of eggs and heavy cream creates a creamy, custard-like texture that binds everything together, while the melted cheese adds a savory depth to each bite.

Why This Meat Pie Stands Out

This recipe focuses solely on protein and healthy fats, making it a standout choice for anyone following a carnivore or keto lifestyle. By eliminating fillers like crusts or vegetables, the focus remains on bold flavors and satisfying textures. It’s easy to prepare, requiring only a few staple ingredients and one baking dish.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

A few simple adjustments can make this recipe even better. Keep these tips in mind for optimal results:

  • Drain excess grease from the cooked ground beef to prevent the pie from becoming too oily.
  • Shred the cheese fresh rather than using pre-shredded options, which often contain additional ingredients like gluten.
  • Let the pie rest for a few minutes after baking to ensure it sets properly and is easier to slice.
