Ingredients
Instructions
-
Brown ground meat and drain the fat.
-
Add onion powder and mineral salt. (Alternatively, use 1 packet onion soup mix instead of onion powder and salt. It makes it taste fantastic, but is not as healthy and has a couple of carbs.)
-
Place meat mixture in casserole dish and stir in half of the grated cheese.
-
Place layer of any optional mentioned ingredients over meat and cheese combination, or skip this step for a more basic pie.
-
In another bowl beat eggs, mayo, heavy cream, mineral salt, and black pepper.
-
Pour mix over the ingredients already added to the dish and then top with the remaining cheese.
-
Bake at 350 for 35 minutes. Serve with either, or both, a side salad and steamed buttery vegetables.

Pearl chats: "This decadent dish wins over reluctant husbands by the thousands! Anyway you like your cheeseburger can apply to this pie. You could include a layer of finely diced sautéed onions, dill pickles, jalapenos, or even a layer of tomatoes to the basic recipe below. Our children love to top this pie with a little mustard and a lot of ketchup. Serve it with a large side salad and you’ve got dinner!"
