Carnivore Cheeseburger Pizza Pie

Carnivore Cheeseburger Pizza Pie

This is rich, salty, cheesy, and wildly satisfying. Think deep-dish cheeseburger meets pizza skillet — zero nonsense.

 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

Meat Crust:

  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 for best flavor)

  • 1 large egg

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper (optional if strict carnivore)

“Sauce” Layer:

  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream
    (or 4 oz cream cheese, softened)

Cheese Layer:

  • 2–3 cups shredded whole-milk mozzarella

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar

Toppings (Choose Your Level of Carnivore):

  • 6–8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

  • ½ lb ground beef (optional extra meat layer)

  • 6–8 slices provolone or American cheese

  • Optional (if not strict): diced pickles added after baking

 Equipment

  • 10–12 inch cast iron skillet (best)
    or

  • 9-inch deep pie dish

 Step 1: Build the Meat Crust

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).

  2. In a bowl, mix:

    • 2 lbs ground beef

    • 1 egg

    • salt & pepper

  3. Press mixture firmly into skillet or pie dish.

    • Press slightly up the sides to form a crust.

    • Make it even thickness so it cooks evenly.

Bake for 15–18 minutes until mostly cooked through.

Drain excess grease (save it for cooking eggs later — liquid gold).

Step 2: Layer It Up

Spread sour cream or softened cream cheese evenly over the meat base.

Add:

  • Half the mozzarella

  • Half the cheddar

  • Optional extra cooked ground beef

  • Bacon crumbles

  • Remaining mozzarella + cheddar

Top with provolone or American slices for that classic cheeseburger melt.

 Step 3: Bake Again

Return to oven for 10–15 minutes until:

  • Cheese is fully melted

  • Edges are bubbling

  • Top gets light golden spots

If you want browning, broil for 2–3 minutes (watch carefully).

 Step 4: Rest (Important)

Let it sit for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

This helps it set so you get slices, not scoop.

 Serve

Slice like pizza.
Top with diced pickles if desired (post-bake so they stay crisp).

Eat with a fork. Or your hands. No judgment here.
