This quick and easy high protein cheeseburger pie is a hearty, protein-packed meal perfect for anyone following a low-carb or high protein diets. It's ready in just under 35 minutes.
Ingredients
-
1.5 pounds ground beef
-
1 tablespoon butter divided
-
1 medium onion diced
-
4 whole eggs
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
½ teaspoon mustard powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and lightly grease a 9-inch round pie plate or 8×8-inch baking dish with some of the butter.
Add another portion of the butter to a skillet and brown the ground beef meat. Then, transfer to the baking dish.
Add the final amount of butter to the skillet and brown the onions until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir frequently.
While the onions cook, whisk the eggs in a bowl. Add the herbs, salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the beef. Shake the dish gently if needed, so it sinks down around the meat.
Arrange the onions in an even layer on top and sprinkle the surface with cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly. Allow the cheeseburger pie to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
