Description
Let me tell you about this Keto Ground Beef Casserole. It tastes like bacon cheeseburger heaven – seasoned to perfection with minimal effort, plus cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and pickles – you won’t miss the carbs in this easy keto dinner recipe with 3.6 net carbs per serving.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 4 Ounces Cream Cheese
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Cup heavy cream
- 1 Cup diced onion
- 4 Garlic Cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons horseradish mustard (or yellow)
- 2 teaspoons Lea & Perrins
- 4 cups cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bacon – crumbled
- Dill pickles
- Shredded lettuce (if you have it)
- Chopped or sliced tomatoes (if you have it)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350
Combine the eggs, 2 cups of cheese, heavy cream, and mustard in a medium bowl and set it aside – you’re going to use this after you have cooked the ground beef. And it is going to rock your world so wait for it.
Fry 6 pieces of bacon or microwave it – crumble it and set it aside.
Brown the ground beef in a skillet – once you’ve got it browning, add the diced onions, garlic, lea & Perrins, salt & pepper.
Once you’ve got it all browned – drain as much fat as you feel comfortable with giving up – the fat does add flavor, but if you weigh that against the possible health implications, it doesn’t add up logically to keep it.
Final skillet step – add the cream cheese.
Now grab a casserole dish – grease it – and throw the ground beef mixture in it.
Then add the eggs & cream.
Then add the bacon
Then add the other 2 cups of cheese.
Then add the pickles.
And then bake it for 20 minutes.
Notes
Options:
Serve over shredded lettuce with diced or sliced tomatoes
