These Mad Creations Ketogenic Cheese & Bacon Aussie Beef Pies……all I can say is WOW!

These pies are what I would call in car terms a total sleeper. They look wholesome and boring on the outside but holy shizzle, the crust is made cheese and bacon what’s not to like…seriously!

In this recipe I did use lupin flakes but just substitute with almond meal if you have a peanut allergy or don’t consume legumes. I choose lupin as it is low carb, high fibre and doesn’t raise insulin and not that I have trialed it but I think golden flaxmeal would also work perfect in this recipe.

The fibre content has been amped up with the psyllium, and you can top these with a good cauliflower mash if you want, and surround with a buttery jus. Now what a “floater” that would be!

No more Aussie than a pie, but to make it a gluten free and grain free, and more tasty than any pie I have ever made that is a big call.

I hope you enjoy

Delicious pies made with a cheese and bacon pastry! Can you get more Aussie than that?

These pies are to die for. I used almond meal instead of lupin and they turned out perfect. The dough was easy to work with (I used wet hands) and they are soooo delicious, be a regular on my menu now.

If using a pie maker do I need to pre-bake the shells?

Also a question re the pie maker: is this pastry rollable? And is hickory smoked bacon easy to find? Thanks, can’t wait to try this.

  Hi Virginia, the pastry could be rolled out between two sheets of baking paper, but it is a little less stable to shift compared to a fathead, so maybe freeze for 20 minutes before attempting to lift. Hickory smoked bacon is usually found in the deli at most supermarkets or in pre-packaged amounts in the fridge at supermarkets.
