Cheeseburger casserole…need I say more? I love to make casseroles because they are hearty, simple and easy to prepare. I love the flexibility of having dinner ready and keeping it warm in the oven until everyone is home and ready to eat. This keto cheeseburger casserole recipe is one of our new favorites, and I hope your family enjoys it too!
Keto Cheeseburger Casserole
Start by cooking bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove the bacon from pan with a slotted spoon, and set on a paper towel lined plate. Reserve the bacon grease in the pan.
Add the ground beef, onion and garlic into the same skillet that you cooked the bacon in, over medium-high heat. Break the beef apart with a wooden spoon. Brown the beef for 7-10 minutes. Transfer the mixture into a colander to discard any excess liquid. Return the meat to the pan (still over medium/high heat). Toss in riced cauliflower, salt and pepper until incorporated. Next, add the liquid aminos, diced tomato, cream cheese, pickle, mustard and half of the reserved bacon. Stir the mixture together and cook until cream cheese is melted throughout.
Pour the ground beef mixture into a 13×9 baking dish. Sprinkle the top with cheddar cheese and the remaining bacon. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is melted and casserole is bubbling. Now enjoy this easy keto cheeseburger casserole!
This recipe is also a great option if you like to do food prep for a busy week ahead. You can store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. This recipe also freezes well and can be stored in the freezer for 2-3 months.
