6 Servings

Ingredients
  • 2 lbs ground beef (2 to 2.5 lbs)
  • 1 Tbs onion powder (DTS alternative: 1 pkt onion soup mix)
  • 1 1/2 tsp mineral salt (eliminate if using onion soup mix)
  • 12 oz cheddar cheese (grated; or, cheese of your choice)
  • 2 whole egg (s)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or 0% Greek yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • mineral salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)
  • onion (s) (optional)
  • pickles (optional)
  • jalapeño pepper (s) (optional)
  • tomato (s) (optional)
  • ketchup (optional, sugar-free)
  • mustard (optional)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Brown ground meat and drain the fat.
  2. 2
    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.)
  3. 3
    Place meat mixture in casserole dish and stir in half of the grated cheese.
  4. 4
    Place layer of any optional mentioned ingredients over meat and cheese combination, or skip this step for a more basic pie.
  5. 5
    In another bowl beat eggs, mayo, heavy cream, mineral salt, and black pepper.
  6. 6
    Pour mix over the ingredients already added to the dish and then top with the remaining cheese.
  7. 7
    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!"
