Cheeseburger Pie, Souffle Style, Low Carb image

When I began eating low-carb I fell in love with soufflés. This is a simplified souffle/casserole mash-up for nights when you want something old-school. This recipe has 1 tbsp. flour & whole milk. If you're super hard-core (or on induction) you could sustitute with 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum & heavy cream.

Time 35m

Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup onion, diced
1 garlic clove, diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup whole milk
4 ounces cheddar cheese
2 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
3 large eggs, seperated

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In an oven-safe skillet (cast iron is great!) brown ground beef with the onion, garlic, 1 teaspoons Kosher salt & black pepper. Set aside to cool while you prepare the egg/cheese mixture.
  • In a medium glass bowl, heat milk for 45-60 seconds or until steaming. Add the cheddar cheese, cream cheese, 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt & mustard. Stir with a whisk until the cheese is melted & fully incorporated.
  • Seperate the three eggs, add the yolks to the cheese mixture & placing the whites in a seperated bowl.
  • Add 1 tablespoons flour to the cheese mixture also, and whisk to combine the flour & yolks with the egg mixture until homogeneous.
  • Whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form--I do this in my stand mixer. Fold egg whites into the cheese mixture.
  • Pour half of the cheese mixture into the pan holding the ground beef mixture. Fold together. Top with the remaining cheese mixture.
  • Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown & set. It will be a bit jiggly, but not runny. You can check with a knife.
  • Allow to cool for ten minutes before cutting. :).
