1 Ingredients

Qty Item
2 lbs Ground beef (80/20)
8 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
0.5 cup Yellow onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, minced
4 pcs Large eggs
0.5 cup Heavy cream
2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
0.25 cup Dill pickles, diced
2 tbsp Sugar-free ketchup
1 tbsp Yellow mustard
1 tsp Salt
0.5 tsp Black pepper

2 Instructions

1

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

2

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.

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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


💡 Tips & Tricks

  • ·

    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.
