Instructions
-
Brown the MeatIn a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until nicely browned.
Season with salt.
-
Prepare the “Topping”Pork Rind Mash (Optional): Crush pork rinds into a crumb-like consistency. You can moisten them with a bit of beef stock or melted fat if you like.
Egg Whites (Optional): Whip egg whites to stiff peaks to create a lighter, soufflé-like topping.
Cheese (Optional): Grate or slice your favorite hard cheese if you include dairy in your carnivore diet.
-
AssemblePreheat oven to about 350°F (175°C).
Spread the browned ground meat evenly in a baking dish.
Top with your chosen carnivore “topping,” such as crushed pork rinds, whipped egg whites, or cheese.
-
BakePlace the dish in the oven.
Bake until the topping is golden and the meat is bubbling around the edges. This typically takes 20–30 minutes, depending on the topping used.
-
ServeLet it rest a few minutes before slicing.
Serve hot and enjoy.
By removing any vegetables or plant-based seasonings (traditionally found in Shepherd’s Pie), this recipe remains strictly carnivore. Adjust seasonings, topping method, and bake time to your preference.
