Ingredients
  

Pie Filling
  • 1.5 lb ground beef 80/20 blend
  • 0.5 lb bacon chopped
  • 1 tsp salt sea salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper optional
Custard and Topping
  • 4 large eggs room temperature
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream grass-fed
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded

Equipment

  • 9-Inch Pie Plate
  • large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

Prepare the Filling
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate with butter or bacon grease.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon.
  3. In the same skillet, brown the ground beef in the rendered bacon fat until fully cooked, draining any excess liquid.
  4. Stir the salt, pepper, and half of the crispy bacon bits into the beef, then spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pie plate.
Bake the Pie
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy cream together until smooth and well combined.
  2. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer in the pie plate.
  3. Pour the egg and cream mixture slowly over the meat and cheese, ensuring it settles into the crevices.
  4. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and the rest of the crispy bacon bits.
  5. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the center is set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  6. Let the pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges to serve.

Notes

Store any remaining portions in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual slices in the oven or air fryer at 350°F to maintain the best texture and keep the bacon crispy.
