- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 4 tbsp butter (melted)
For the Meat Filling:

🧠 Ingredient Notes – Why These Work
- Almond & Coconut Flour: This combo creates a firm yet tender crust that mimics real pastry—without gluten or carbs.

- Tomato Sauce (Sugar-Free): Adds moisture and richness without adding carbs.
- Cheese: Optional, but adds a creamy, melty texture inside!
👩🍳 How to Make Keto Meat Pies (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Prepare the Crust Dough
In a bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the egg and melted butter, stirring until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels sticky, chill for 10 minutes to firm up.
Step 2: Cook the Meat Filling
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in onions, garlic, and seasoning. Add sugar-free tomato sauce and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Step 3: Shape the Dough
Divide the dough into equal portions. Flatten each piece into a circle to form the base of your pies. Place dough onto a lined baking sheet or press into muffin tin molds for mini pies.
Step 4: Add Filling
Spoon the meat filling in the center of each dough circle. Add a sprinkle of cheese on top if using.
Step 5: Add the Top Crust (Optional)
Place another flattened dough piece on top and press edges gently with a fork to seal. If not adding a top crust, simply fold the edges slightly to form a rustic pie shape.
Step 6: Bake
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20–25 minutes or until golden and firm. The crust should be lightly crispy on the outside and soft inside.
Step 7: Cool & Serve
Let pies cool for 5 minutes before serving so the filling settles and flavors develop beautifully.
