Instructions
For the Pie Crust
Add almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and salt to food processor bowl. Pulse until evenly combined.
Add butter and cream cheese. Pulse until crumbly, just a few seconds.
Add in egg and vinegar. Pulse until dough just starts to come together and resembles moist crumbs, not smooth dough.
Pour dough onto plastic wrap. Form a ball, then press to flatten. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour up to 3 days.
Roll out cold dough between wax or parchment paper. If crust cracks or falls apart, press pieces back together and continue. Roll out to a 12" circle. Carefully lift paper over pie plate and flip over, gently removing paper and laying dough into pie pan.
Gently press dough into pan and cut away excess edges. Prick all over with fork. Freeze for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 325º Fahrenheit. After crust has chilled, pre-bake crust 8-12 minutes or until lightly golden.Remove crust and increase heat to 350º.
For the Meat Filling
While the crust is pre-baking, sauté garlic and onion in butter until tender, 1-2 minutes.
Add in ground beef, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned.
Add tomato paste and mushrooms. Cook all together until evenly combined and mushrooms are softened, 6-8 minutes. Stir in one cup of mozzarella.
Pour filling into crust and spread evenly. Top with remaining mozzarella and black pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until browned and cooked evenly.
