Here’s a delicious Low-Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole recipe, perfect for keto and low-carb diets. It combines all the flavors of a bacon cheeseburger without the bun!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 or leaner)
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp mustard
- 1 tbsp ketchup (sugar-free for keto)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: pickles, tomatoes, lettuce (for serving)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or casserole dish.
- Cook the beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Cook the onion and garlic: In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the cooked onion and garlic to the beef.
- Prepare the casserole: Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly in the greased baking dish. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Mix the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble and bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the beef, bacon, and cheese in the casserole dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden.
- Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with optional toppings like pickles, tomatoes, or lettuce for that true cheeseburger feel.
Enjoy your flavorful, low-carb bacon cheeseburger casserole!
