Paleo Hamburger Pie

This hamburger pie is always a popular dish in our house. I usually prepare it using ground turkey instead of ground beef, simply because that's what I have on hand, but you could also make it with ground sausage for an easy breakfast dish! I make mine strict paleo, but if you're not sensitive to dairy you can add cheese and/or substitute heavy cream for the coconut milk to make it even more rich. Usually it's made in a pie pan, but I didn't have one available, so I used a small baking dish instead.
