THM – S – Low Carb
I developed this Cheese Dog Pie a few months after I started this diet and although I’d already decided that Trim Healthy Mama was my diet for life it was this pie that helped me realize that I was going to be able to keep enjoying my comforting soul food and embrace a healthy diet. This dish will always have a special place in my heart and at my table because of that so I’m moving it over from my old blog now.
The topping for this recipe is very similar to the one in another favorite that I call Tamale Pie. In the time since I originally created this recipe I’ve learned more about this style of cooking and have access to better products (like the amazing THM Baking Blend) so although it was good before it is so much better now in terms of texture and flavor that I would trade it for a real cheese dog any day. It is more moist and delicious now and also so easy to make because it mixes up in one bowl.

Cheesy Hot Dog Pie
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3/4 cup THM Baking Blend (if you're out try this recipe)
- 2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (8 oz.)
- 2 jalapeños, finely diced (optional)OR instead of the cheddar and jalapeños just sub in Pepper Jack
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt (0% or 2%)
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 package of Hebrew National beef hot dogs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Grease a 9- x 13-inch glass baking dish.
- In a large bowl toss together the cheese, flours, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry, stirring until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the baking dish, spreading evenly.
- Arrange the hot dogs on top of the casserole and they bake right in. I like to leave the tops showing so I'll know where to cut so each piece gets a piece of hot dog.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are brown and the breading is fully set.
I just had to say I enjoyed this meal so much! The Chili gravy takes this dish to a whole other level!! My dh and little just ate the hot dog, so I split the leftovers into lunches for me 🙂 I call that a win!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Nathasha! It is one of our favorites too and yes I agree that it is win for any dish to be every bit as good reheated as it was fresh from the oven. Thanks for stopping by!
I made thus tonight. Loved it! It was so nice to have a “bun” with my hotdog! Thank you.
So glad you liked it Ahnah!
Do you serve this with the Enchilada Gravy? I clicked the link for the Chili Gravy and that’s what it took me to.
Thanks!
Hi Sarah! Yes I do serve it with the chili (or enchilada) gravy a lot. Especially in the spring and summer when I don’t make meat chili as much. That recipe makes a lot so if you want you can easily cut it in half as well. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
Great recipe! The crust was light and flavorful!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much Jackie! Glad you liked it and thanks for stopping in to let me know.
Hi… I’m a little confused… in the directions it says “baking powder” but I don’t see it in the ingredients list. How much is needed?
Hi Lisa! I double checked and the 1 tablespoon baking powder is in the list of ingredients and then baking powder is in the instructions too. I highlighted the list of ingredients to make them stand out better. Hope you enjoy the recipe.
Can you use all baking blend if you don’t have the almond flour?
I’m not sure how well it would hold together. It seemed very tender when I tried that, more like a cake texture and with the weiners in there I wanted it to hold together like bread. So it will still be yummy but the almond flour is lending structure. Hope this helps 🙂 It will definitely taste good either way.
Thank you.
Is the recommended serving size what we see in the picture? ….’cuz I think I might want TWO of those! 😀
Hi, Donna! And I know what you mean on the servings 🙂 The S category is pretty lenient on the serving sizes though and I strive to make sure that the S meals I create and/or convert and post are as light and nutrient packed as possible, so that we can be satisfied and full without being so stuffed that we don’t get the fuel processed and burned within the 3 hour window of time for optimal weight loss opportunity. I hope this helps and that you will truly enjoy this satisfying dish!
I am a little confused about subbing for Almond Flour.. For some reason on my computer screen the flours on the ingredients list is a little hard to read with strange characters included. Should I use 3/4 Cup of BB and 1/4 C of Almond Flour OR 1 Cup AF and 3/4 Cup of BB? Thanks for the help, I really want to make this recipe. I am totally missing hot dogs on a bun!!
Hi Diane! Due to an affiliate situation the blog post got a little wonky but I’ve fixed it now and thanks for letting me know. 🙂
Where is the print button? I feel like I must be looking right at it and not seeing it. lol
I live in Ontario and cant find the Hebrew National beef hot dogs – do you know what the guidelines are for on plan approved hot dogs so I can find an on plan one here?
Hi Dee! I’m not sure on that one but I can ask around and try to add a link for another one. 🙂
Loved this! ! !
Thanks, Lynda I’m so glad to hear it was a hit! 🙂
This looks amazing. Can’t wait to try it. How many hot dogs are in the package?
Hi Tina! The packages of Hebrew National Hot Dogs seems to be evolving. At the time I first posted this there were 7 but at last count there were 6 so I guess we’re going with that number on this dish for now. Hope you enjoy!
Anyone know carb count per # of servings? Thanks
