    ⭐ Fix your burger cravings minus the carbs

    Cheeseburgers are the go-to comfort food for a majority of people. It's delicious and easy to get at any fast food restaurant. It's also an easy recipe that you can make in under an hour if you are feeling a little adventurous. If you are like me and prefer low-carb meals, you must have thought about keto-friendly alternatives.

    Satisify your burger cravings with ground beef, cheddar cheese and cream cheese in one dish. I dare say that it's a meal that even picky eaters and non-keto lovers will be requesting at every gathering in the future.

    🍽 What do you need

    If you've decided to make keto cheeseburger casserole from scratch, then you need to consider things like getting the right ingredients and using the correct baking dish size.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients are the base of any recipe and they are what will make your cheeseburger casserole hearty and a delight.

    For this keto cheeseburger casserole recipe, you will need 2lbs of ground beef, cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, 4 eggs, half a cup heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Having made it before, I can assure you that it’s a meal that you will be dying to try out again very soon.

    Cookware

    The reason why I love making casseroles is that they are so versatile. You can manipulate the recipe to suit your cravings. Most of the time the baking dish is what will determine how your casserole turns out and it’s no different when you make this cheeseburger casserole recipe.

    9" x 9" baking dish
    If you want a thick beef and the double cheeseburger effect, then you need a 9-inch x 9-inch dish.

    9" x 13" baking dish
    If you prefer a thinner beef layer this mimics the classic single cheeseburger.

    Cast Iron Skillet
    This works great and I use cast iron a lot lately.

    🔪 How to make

    So, now that you have all the ingredients, how do you go about making your keto cheeseburger casserole? As far as keto recipes go, the low carb hamburger casserole recipe is one of the easiest to make. For a quick and delicious meal that your whole family will enjoy, bake the keto casserole in a skillet or a casserole dish.

    Beef layer

    Just like you do with other ground beef recipes, the secret to a tasty keto cheeseburger casserole is to make sure that you brown your ground beef well. Add your ground beef into a cast-iron skillet and cook until the meat is brown. Next, drain the liquid. This ensures that your cheeseburger casserole isn't runny.

    Mix your garlic powder, onion powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, as well as 8 oz cheddar cheese into your beef and spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of your skillet.

    Cheeseburger sauce

    When it comes to making a keto cheeseburger casserole recipe, the sauce is the glue that holds everything together. It adds to the rich flavor of the casserole and so you need to get it right. In a medium mixing bowl, beat your eggs, and then add heavy cream, cream cheese, and Worcestershire sauce and combine them using a hand blender. When done, pour the egg and cream mixture over your ground beef.

    Topping

    The last layer is the topping. For a nice crusty golden brown top layer, I just use cheddar cheese. Make a bacon cheeseburger casserole or add your favorite toppings like Jalapenos.

    How to layer and bake

    Start by preheating your oven to 350°F or 177°C. At this point, you should have layered all your ingredients. The beef mixture goes into the bottom of your casserole baking dish, then follow up with your already made cream and egg mixture and finally a generous topping of the remaining cheddar cheese. Bake your casserole for 30-35 minutes. And there you have it - an easy keto cheeseburger casserole that is enough meal for one person or a small crowd of people like during a family gathering.

    📋 Easy variations

    This keto cheeseburger casserole recipe is one of those meals that should sit at the top of your recipe card. It is as easy to prepare as it is to bake. If you are want to unleash your culinary skills, here are other casserole recipes that you should try:

    Keto Cheeseburger Cauliflower Casserole

    When making the cauliflower casserole keto recipe rather than using ground beef, you replace that with cauliflower rice. The result is an easy low carb meal that is just as delicious.

    Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

    When I think about Cheeseburgers my first thought is bacon, specifically crispy bacon. I'll often cook bacon on the side and since we are already using the oven this is perfect for making crispy bacon. I usually crumble the bacon and serve in a bowl for my family to top their Cheese burger casserole.

    Oven Baked Chicken Breast Casserole

    When it comes to keto-friendly dishes, to make things interesting, you can use the flavors of your favorite carb meals to create low carb versions of the recipe. The bacon cheeseburger oven-baked chicken breast casserole is one such dish. The reason why I like using chicken for this recipe is that the meat is lean and very easy to prepare and cook. For a low-carb meal, go with chicken thighs since they have a higher percentage of fat, although chicken breasts will still do. You can serve this delicious keto casserole with your choice of vegetables or pickles

    🥫 Storage

    The cheesy keto casserole is usually enough meal to feed a small group of people. However, you are bound to have leftovers left. So how do you store leftover cheeseburger casserole? Store the leftovers in a baking dish and throw them in the refrigerator for up to three days. To ensure that the casserole doesn't dry out, make sure to cover the dish.

    Freezer
    Sometimes you may want to store your casserole dish for longer. Luckily, a cheeseburger casserole can be frozen for up to six months. Assemble your casserole in an airtight container and store it in a freezer.

    🥗 What to serve with

    While the low carb ground beef cheeseburger casserole is a meal by itself, you can always serve it with your choice of side dishes. One of the side dishes that you can try is cilantro lime cauliflower rice.

      If I add a table spoon of almond flour will that take away the eggy part of this? Or would it be better to just leave out the egg?

      I used ground venison browned in 2Tbl of coconut oil. Also I added 1/4 c cooked crumbled bacon and 1/4c chopped dill pickles. Only had 4 oz. Cheddar and the remainder swiss. I saved the cheddar for the top . . . Color. Amazing!!

      Hi Penny,

      Per the recipe, you are looking at a total of about 35g Carbs for 8 Servings. If your are following the recommended 15-30g of net carbs daily and your mindful of carbs throughout the day, this is Ketogenic friendly.

      4 Eggs = 1.36g
      8 oz Cream Cheese = 8g
      16 oz Shredded Cheddar Cheese = 5.81g
      1/2 cup heavy cream = 3.32
      1 Tbps Worcestershire sauce 3.3
      1 Tbps Onion Powder 5.5g
      1 Tbps Onion Powder 7.1g
      1/2 Tsp Pepper 0.8g

      Totals
      35.19g carbs for 8 servings
      17.59g carbs for 4 servings
      4.39g carbs per serving
      2.19g carbs per half serving

      It seems this matches up pretty close with our Recipe card and instructions. I often do 4 servings myself, and actually only eat a half serving and combine it with a side-dish.

      Anything certified for the oven is fine. And yes, you could easily do this in an aluminum pan! This is how we store and bake our frozen lasagna.

        8x8 should work for half the recipe. Good luck!

      Could I use 1lb ground beef? Would I need to use less eggs? I don’t need to make 8 servings. Just need half that.

        I suppose you could just halve the recipe. Should work out just fine!

      The recipe calls for 8 oz of cream cheese, however in the directions you have putting 8 oz in with the beef mixture then call for more with the egg and cream mixture. Did you mean half with beef and half with egg mixture? Thanks. Making tonight.

        Hi Pam, the beef mixture has 8 oz of the cheddar cheese, the cream cheese is only in the egg mixture. Hope that helps!

      This turned out pretty good! I'm not one for trying new foods, and I'm not a fan of cream cheese, so I was a little hesitant to taste it, but it was good! Next time, I will probably leave out the cream cheese. It would also be good with half beef, half sausage. I baked it in a glass baking dish, worked fine.
