Here is another savory keto recipe that I hope you all will enjoy! I am 7 days into my latest keto stint and I feel amazing! I recently returned from a vacation in Greece. I had such a great time! I spent a lot of the trip binging on pasta, bread with olive oil, and local wine. Heck yeah and YUM!
BUT….when I returned from my vacation I felt extremely sluggish and the lower pit of my stomach had a constant ache. I knew this was directly tied to all of the food binges I had been enjoying.
I decided to give my body a break and focus on keto friendly meals. Last week I made Keto Shrimp Alfredo Zucchini Noodles. These were so yum and the perfect meal to send me into ketosis.
I snacked on my Keto Peanut Butter Cookies each day as a treat. These cookies use Swerve sweetener and I am absolutely obsessed! Be sure to check out the recipe!
Burgers are one of my favorite keto meals because they are so easily accessible. Most restaurants offer lettuce wrapped burgers. In fact, when I am strapped for time, I will often hit up the drive-through at Freddies and order a lettuce wrapped bacon cheeseburger. It is truly a lifesaver for me with keto.
I like to consider myself a grill master. I LOVE to grill! One of the mandatory ingredients is Worcestershire sauce. I also love to use a good burger seasoning.
McCormick’s Grill Mates Burger Seasoning and Weber Burger Seasoning are my favorites. These ingredients will add so much flavor! The casserole will taste a lot more like a burger.
Here are more Keto Dinner Recipes: Keto Spinach and Cheese Stuffed Chicken and Keto Philly Cheesesteak Casserole.
Looking for Keto Desserts? You may also enjoy my Keto Peanut Butter Cookies, Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies, Keto Pound Cake, and Keto Cheesecake recipes.
This dish is perfect for meal prep and leftovers. That is the main reason why I love casseroles. You throw a bunch of ingredients in a pan, bake, and then chill.
Here is the Rectangular Bake Dish, 8″ x 11″ used in this recipe.

I use Butcher Box ground beef in this recipe because it is 100% grass-fed beef. Grass-fed beef is much leaner and has less total fat. It also has more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which is linked to reductions in heart disease and cancer. You can read my Butcher Box Review and Unboxing here.
I love the convenience of using Butcher Box’s subscription service. They don’t just provide ground beef. They also provide heritage breed pork, uncured nitrate-free bacon, free-range organic chicken, and 100% grass-fed steak!

April 10, 2019 at 6:23 pmHi, I see the nutrition info, but I soon discovered 6g is like a tiny morsel of food. Is it supposed to be 6 oz.?

April 11, 2019 at 2:17 pmHi there! There are 6 total servings in this recipe. The casserole is cut into 6 equal shares. The nutrition info is per serving, for one slice of the casserole.

March 25, 2019 at 6:28 pmMade this tonight, but made cauliflower rice and pressed it into the pan before adding the other ingredients and ???? more veggies without the taste!

March 28, 2019 at 1:57 pmI am new to this so i may be missing something but here goes. I thought eating Keto was among other things, eliminating sugar from your diet. Ibhave the Weber seasoning and the second ingredient listed is sugar. Am I mistaken?
staysnatched
March 29, 2019 at 7:53 amYou can substitute the seasoning for something else if you wish. I personally focus more on keto macros and this seasoning is in line.
Melanie
April 6, 2019 at 10:44 amI always make my own seasoning mixes. Just look at the other spices/herbs included in the already mixed version and mix up a few of your own, skipping the sugar.
Courtney
April 3, 2019 at 10:03 amIf I make this completely, can I put it in the fridge and bake it later that day? Or will it change anything? Should I stop at some point before putting it in the fridge?
staysnatched
April 3, 2019 at 10:50 amI’ve never done this. I wouldn’t do it this way because of the egg and cream. You can always make it first and refrigerate later.

April 3, 2019 at 11:42 amI have a baby and like to “prep” while she’s sleeping so that when my husband gets home I can just throw it in the oven. Unfortunately life doesn’t let me be in the kitchen very long uninterrupted.
staysnatched
April 4, 2019 at 6:47 amIt’s a recipe that is great as leftovers. If you make it before he gets home, it will still taste great reheated.
MELANIE
April 6, 2019 at 10:49 amYou could pre-cook the bacon and complete step two. Those were the things that took me the longest anyway. Once he gets home, you could assemble and bake. Once I cooked the bacon and beef it only took me 5-10 minutes to do everything else.
JJ
April 5, 2019 at 7:20 pmGood recipe, but there is absolutely no way for bacon to cool at 350 for 20 minutes and be cooked. Bacon should be cooked at least partially before adding.
staysnatched
April 6, 2019 at 8:08 amThe ingredients state that the bacon is cooked and crumbled before adding. It sounds like you missed that.
LeAnn
April 7, 2019 at 6:35 pmThis one of my favorite new recipes. I live alone so this gives me plenty to freeze and have for lunches or those nights that I only have 10 min. to eat and run. I added a sliced tomato before the last layer of cheese. Hope that doesn’t throw too many more carbs to the dish. Love this!
Luke
April 9, 2019 at 3:55 amI’ve seen a couple different recipes for this, and none of them say to drain the beef after browning. Is that true?
staysnatched
April 9, 2019 at 11:46 amIt depends on if you need to or not. I used beef that didn’t need draining. If yours does, then drain it. Use your judgment.

April 9, 2019 at 8:47 pmI actually substituted “real bacon bits” instead of the bacon and it cut my prep time down quite a bit! I can’t stand mustard either so I did ketchup instead. I love this recipe though!
Jamie
April 28, 2019 at 7:36 pmKetchup is not keto friendly… Contains lots of sugar!
staysnatched
April 29, 2019 at 4:39 pmThey could have used a keto-friendly one like the unsweetened brand Primal Kitchen makes.
Lisa
April 14, 2019 at 5:28 pmMade this tonight. Doubled the seasoning and omitted regular salt/pepper. Doubled Worcestershire and bacon. Topped it with shredded lettuce, a little chopped tomato and white onion. Tastes just like the bunless burgers I usually get at our favorite bar & grill, so delicious!

April 15, 2019 at 4:56 pmReally really good. I made a side dish of kale and riced cauliflower and it was a great meal. I was really craving a burger and this recipe was just the ticket. I do not think it is labor intensive, just waiting for it to bake was hard, it smelled so good cooking.

April 18, 2019 at 6:28 pmOhhh man was this ever good! I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes so I’ve had to make some major lifestyle changes so following a Keto diet is really ideal. I was craving a cheeseburger something fierce and this totally fit the bill! Not to mention, this is picky husband approved!

Laverne Harvey
May 8, 2019 at 3:40 pmLast week a friend told me she makes it with bagged cauliflower, by putting the florets in the oven and roasting them first and using them on the bottom of the dish. It makes it more like Sheppard’s pie. More filling with them added and just as good. I make this at least once a week.

June 1, 2019 at 12:57 pmCan this be made ahead of time? Like. In the morning and stored in the fridge and tossed in the oven in the evening?

June 2, 2019 at 6:23 pmI’ve never tried this. I assume you can, but it would likely impact the texture some.

July 7, 2019 at 5:24 pmYummy! I added more eggs, bacon and cheese to make more servings. I also added butter to the hamburger mix. A little more fat and didn’t stick. 👍🏻
