Why Readers Love This Recipe

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Casserole was a thumbs-up from the whole family!! Served on bed of shredded lettuce and chopped onions and tomatoes on top!! It’s a KEEPER!!
~Beverly

Key Ingredients

Here’s why each ingredient plays a key role in making this casserole rich, cheesy, and delicious:

  • Ground Beef – The hearty base of the casserole, ground beef provides protein and a satisfying, meaty texture. Using an 80/20 blend adds great flavor while keeping the dish juicy.
  • Onion – Adds a slight sweetness and depth of flavor to balance the savory beef. Using a small amount keeps it keto-friendly while enhancing the overall taste.
  • Garlic Cloves – Fresh garlic infuses the casserole with rich, aromatic flavor, making each bite more delicious.
  • Worcestershire Sauce – A key ingredient for that classic burger taste, Worcestershire sauce adds a touch of tang, and enhances the beefy richness.
  • Cream Cheese – Makes the casserole ultra-creamy, helping to create a smooth, velvety texture.
  • Eggs – Acts as a binder to hold everything together while adding structure and fluffiness to the casserole.
  • Mustard – A classic burger ingredient, mustard brings a tangy kick that balances the richness of the meat and cheese.
  • Heavy Whipping Cream – Adds richness and a creamy texture while keeping the casserole moist and indulgent. It also helps blend the flavors together.
  • Shredded Cheese – A staple for any cheeseburger-inspired dish, cheddar cheese melts beautifully, adding gooey, cheesy goodness to every bite.
  • Burger Seasoning – A flavorful blend of spices that enhances the beef with classic burger flavors, including hints of smokiness and spice.
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste) – Essential for seasoning and balancing all the flavors in the dish.
  • Bacon – Crispy, smoky bacon takes this casserole to the next level, giving it extra crunch and a bold, savory taste that pairs perfectly with the cheeseburger theme.
  • Pickles – A game-changer! Chopped pickles or pickle slices makes the casserole taste just like a loaded cheeseburger.

Substitutions, Variations, and Add-In Ideas

  • Ground Turkey, Ground Chicken, or Ground Pork – Swap for a leaner option or change up the flavor profile while keeping it keto-friendly.
  • Green Onions
  • Coconut Aminos or Soy Sauce – Coconut aminos offer a slightly sweeter taste, while soy sauce provides a similar umami depth.
  • Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt – Equal parts can be used to replace cream cheese. Both add creaminess with a slightly tangy twist.
  • Dijon Mustard or Spicy Brown Mustard – For a bolder, tangier kick.
  • Pepper Jack, Colby Jack, or Gouda – Any melty cheese will work, so choose based on your flavor preference.
  • Turkey Bacon or Pancetta – Use turkey bacon for a leaner option or pancetta for a richer, saltier taste.
  • Pickled Jalapeños or Banana Peppers – For a spicier, tangy twist.
  • Diced Tomatoes (or Ro-Tel) – For a Tex-Mex twist with extra flavor.
  • Jalapeños or Red Pepper Flakes – Adds a spicy kick!
  • Chopped Mushrooms – Gives a meaty texture while keeping it low-carb.
  • Crumbled Cooked Sausage – A great way to mix in more protein and flavor.
  • Avocado Slices – Add on top after baking for extra flavor.
  • Ranch Seasoning – A fun way to add a creamy, herby flavor.
  • Crushed Pork Rinds – Sprinkle on top for extra crunch, mimicking a burger bun texture.

How to Store Leftovers

Transfer leftovers to an airtight container or cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Leftovers will last up to 4 days.

How to Reheat

Oven: Reheat at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes, covered with foil to prevent drying out.
Microwave: Heat individual portions in 30-second intervals until warm.
Air Fryer: For a crispier top, heat at 325 degrees for 5-7 minutes.

Freezer Tips

Wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 2 months.

      Seriously the best keto recipe I have tried so far! I didn’t have heavy whipping cream so I used sour cream instead and it was still so beyond delicious! My husband even loved it and he’s not doing the keto thing! It’s so unbelievably easy too!!

      Thank you for coming up with this recipe! It was so much better than it looked!! I did have to alter because I was missing a few items. I didn’t have kosher pickles and oddly enough I didn’t have mustard or onions either but the overall core of the recipe was spot on and inspired other recipes!! Thanks again!

      My whole family loves this! I do leave out the pickles as we do not love them in food. I absolutely love it when they love the food that I need to be eating so that I am not having to prepare two different meals. The first time I made it, I made it all at one time and took it to my parent's house for dinner. They really enjoyed it too. The second time I made it, I cooked the meat mixture the night before and then put in the fridge as the next day a child had basketball and I knew I would not have a lot of time after work to get dinner finished. This worked beautifully as well. Thank you so much!!

      I don't know if it makes a difference in the end result, but in the recipe the Worcestershire sauce us added with the beef, and in the video its added with the egg/cream mixture. Sorry if anyone else commented about this already. It's in the oven now!

      This was delicious! The only difference I made was that I didn't add pickles or liquid mustard, only because I didn't have either on hand. I used ground mustard instead, and it still turned out great! Thanks for the recipe!

    Just made it and ate it. The whole family loved it. I used one large clove of garlic instead of two, used the colby jack cheese I had on hand and left out the pickles. Not a pickle fan...

    I love this recipe and it is a keeper, however, the calories and counts do not come out right no matter what I use. The best I have been able to do is 462 calories per serving. I have attempted to put this through multiple calorie calculators as well as writing down and dividing the information and at six servings this comes out at best to be 462 calories per serving. With the ingrediant I typically use it is 497 per serving for six:
    Nutrition Facts
    Servings: 6
    Amount per serving
    Calories 497
    % Daily Value*
    Total Fat 35.7g 46%

    Vitamin D 21mcg 103%
    Calcium 332mg 26%
    Iron 3mg 16%

    Here are two nutrition calculators:
    https://www.verywellfit.com/recipe-nutrition-analyzer-4157076
    https://happyforks.com/analyzer/result
    People can use to enter the ingredients themselves and calculate it. You can even do it by hand and the results are the same. Unless the organic beef you are using is drastically less calories than the organic beef at Wal-Mart or Krogers supermarkets these calculations never change. The only way to get close to the 392 per serving is to actually up the servings to 8. If you could provide a actual nutrition list it would greatly help in making sure the calculations are correct as two cups of cheese and 1lb of meat alone per serving for six is over 350 calories and that doesn't include the heavy whipping cream, bacon or eggs.
    I love the recipe but for people going off of the calculations given if they are trying to keep a macro count this will fail them unless they do the work themselves to calculate it out.

      Hi there. Thanks for your feedback! I document on my disclaimer page (https://www.staysnatched.com/disclaimer/) that I use MyFitnessPal for calcs, and that these are my calcs. No one should EVER use my calculation as their own. You should always calculate your own macros in accordance to the brands that you use. If you send me an email at StaySnatched.com I would happy to send you a screenshot from MyFitnessPal, but again, this probably won't be helpful because you should calculate your own. I post it on my recipes as a ballpark. You are citing a difference of 70 calories, which is completely reasonable and appears materially accurate.

    Awesome recipe and real good. I did some things different.
    1: once I cooked the meat I mixed my bacon right away.
    2: I Waited for it to cool a bit and actually mixed the liquid in to it because I actually wanted to make a burger with it
    3: I actually got lettuce to replace the bun and put a tad bit of mayo on them and included fresh onion and tomato (similar to In and Outs protein style burger.

    As with any recipe you should always make it your own

    Your recipe does not show you draining the grease from the beef. Without draining, my casserole was very oily and did not sit well in my stomach. The flavor was wonderful but next time I will thoroughly drain the beef before adding the other ingredients.

      Hi there. The video didn't show me draining the beef, because I didn't. I use Butcher Box grass-fed beef, as noted and recommended in the recipe, which does not produce excess oil. While cooking, it is important to use your judgment while following a recipe and make changes that will suit you best. I am sorry this happened to you, and happy you have found an alternative method.

      @Tami, yes! Totally agree with this! I took paper towels and soaked up the grease when I took it out of the oven. Definitely need to drain it but then again, you
      will also be draining the cream cheese, and all of the other ingredients you added prior to cooking the ground beef.

      The eggs are to help bind the casserole. If you omit them it will fall apart and will be more like a ground beef skillet meal.

    Trying to make this a complete meal with no sides, so I added 1 diced zucchini, 1 cup green beans (1" pieces) and 1 dozen sliced brown mushrooms. I sautéed this mix and added to the meat before it went in the casserole dish. I also added about 1/2 cup of chopped green onions to the cheese topping.
    Absolutely Fantastic, this one is a keeper.
    Thanks Brandi

    Hi, I screwed up and didn't read all the instructions (going to blame it on post holiday fatigue - I know better.). I added all the liquid to the meat, stirred and poured it all into the casserole. It is currently baking. Any idea how much this error will alter the finished product? I will provide feed back after we eat it. So bummed, was so looking forward to trying this!!

    This recipe is the BOMB! I’ve only done Keto for 5 weeks now and was looking for a new recipe and so glad I came across this one! Even my husband (who is a meat and potatoes man) said he liked it! I plated mine with a side of lettuce, ranch dressing and black olives. My supper was delightful! I tweaked the recipe with mushrooms, 4 strips of crumbled, crispy baked bacon, and small dollops of sour cream, used a cup of cheddar and a cup of mozzarella and added it to the egg. Then, being from WI....I scattered some cheese curds over the top! Before I finished my serving I put a teaspoon of mild Pico de Gallo on it and it was delish! This recipe has a lot of possibilities you can play around with. I’m looking forward to finding out! Thank you.

    I just made this and yummy!

    I did not use bacon (as it is frozen in my freezer). I added diced pickles and jalapeños to the cooking beef. I then added hot sauce to the egg mix to add more spice.

    Turned out great!

    I will be putting a portion of it in a individual oven safe dish and cracking an egg on it in the morning for breakfast. Then for dinner heating a portion and tossing it in a salad with a homemade dressing.

    Thanks for the great recipe

    I’m new to Keto. I’ve heard so much about it, I wanted to try. I’ve had success in the past with HcG, and Atkins, but keeping the weight off has always been my issue. This was my first dish with the Keto diet, and it was delicious. I’ve purchase a few Keto cookbooks, and am excited about seeing my progress. If I can eat like this, there is no doubt in my mind, that I can lose the 10-15 lbs that I’d like to lose. The challenge for me, iwill be keeping the weight off.

    This is a great recipe! I used ground turkey since I had it on hand and it was still plenty flavorful! I omitted the mustard and pickles as I do not care for either. This is a perfect keto dish, very tasty and filling. Saved some for tomorrow and froze the rest, will see how it tastes once thawed. It’s a bit of a heavy dish so I recommend a salad on the side to help out a bit. Will make again!

    Love it!! Really needing recipes like this, when I can portion them out like this it really helps. When I’m working it’s really hard to eat sometimes. But this is definitely something I will be making ahead of time and pre-packing. I do however have one question about this recipe. Are used a 8x8 baking dish are the serving sizes the same? Would it still be six portions for that size? Thanks again for such an amazing dish!

      If you can get 6 portions out of a dish that size, then yes. I never use a dish that size for casseroles, so I'm unsure if it will work the exact same.

    I made this in a pioneer woman casserole dish I had on hand —- I didn’t have a Pyrex glass casserole dish in another size besides 9x13 and that seemed too large. After 20 mins it was not done — the mixture was still runny. Do you think this is because the casserole dish wasn’t glass? And it probably was a little smaller than 9x9, too — would this cause it to cook slower because it was not spread out enough. Just wondering what I did wrong....

      The cooking time will need to be adjusted. You can do this by spot checking for fully melted cheese. You have fully cooked the ground beef prior to placing it in the oven, so there's no risk there. You will need to exercise judgment.
