How to Make Low-Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and onions until the beef is fully cooked and the onions are soft. Drain any excess fat.

Stir the minced garlic, salt, and pepper into the beef mixture and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle the diced pickles and half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the beef layer.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, sugar-free ketchup, and mustard until smooth.

Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the beef and cheese in the baking dish.

Top the casserole with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and the crumbled bacon.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or extra pickles if desired.

·
For the best texture, grate your own cheese from a block to avoid the anti-caking starches found in pre-shredded bags.
·
Make sure the bacon is cooked very crispy before adding it to the top so it maintains its crunch after baking.
·
To reduce calories, you can use ground turkey instead of beef, but you may need to add a touch of olive oil to the skillet.
·
Serve with a side of shredded iceberg lettuce and fresh tomato slices to mimic a fully dressed burger.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze this casserole?

Yes, you can freeze it after baking. Wrap it tightly in foil and plastic wrap; it will last up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.

Is sugar-free ketchup necessary?

To keep the recipe truly low-carb/keto, sugar-free ketchup is recommended as standard ketchup contains high amounts of added sugar.

How do I know when the casserole is done?

The center should be firm to the touch and not jiggle when shaken, indicating the egg binder has fully set.

Can I add other toppings?

Absolutely! Feel free to add diced jalapeños, sautéed mushrooms, or a drizzle of sugar-free BBQ sauce for extra flavor.
