Recipe: Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole
Ingredients:
For the Casserole:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup diced dill pickles
- 1/4 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Topping (Optional):
- Sliced tomatoes
- Shredded lettuce

Instructions:
Preparing the Casserole:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until it’s browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, diced pickles, and diced red onion.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar-free ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the mayo-sour cream mixture over the beef and cheese mixture. Mix everything together until it’s well combined.
Baking the Casserole:
- Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is hot and bubbly, and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Serving:
- Once the casserole is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Topping (Optional):
- If desired, top the casserole with sliced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and additional diced pickles just before serving to mimic the classic cheeseburger toppings.
