It seems every culture includes a version of a meat pie in their featured cuisine. How could the keto world not have their own meat pie dough? This can be used for the low carb lifestlye also.
I have used various meat pie fillings. I have found the more savory the better. I have also found less juicy will keep the dough from being too soft.
I gave the choice of using either psyllium husks, ground flax, or almond meal as one of the ingredients. I have worked with all three successfully. These modifications came as I tried to problem-solve my own food intolerances. I ended up with almond meal in the end.

Notes
The choice is given to use psyllium, flax, or almond meal as some don’t consider flax clean for Keto and psyllium can be inflammatory for some. I have used it all successfully.
Meat fillings I have used have been roast, ground beef, and ham and cheese.
