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
  • Additional diced pickles

Instructions:

Preparing the Casserole:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 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.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, diced pickles, and diced red onion.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar-free ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour the mayo-sour cream mixture over the beef and cheese mixture. Mix everything together until it’s well combined.
Baking the Casserole:
  1. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
  2. 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:
  1. Once the casserole is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Topping (Optional):
  1. If desired, top the casserole with sliced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and additional diced pickles just before serving to mimic the classic cheeseburger toppings.
