Keto Cheeseburger Casserole
Warm, gooey, and filling, this keto cheeseburger casserole recipe tastes just like a regular burger with only a fraction of the carbs.

Tips for Cutting Carbs in Casserole Recipes
Most people don't realize that casseroles are an effective way to cut carbs.
But since most people think of casseroles as dishes involving pasta or other starches, you have to think creatively. Here are some ways you can do that:
- Lead with high-fat ingredients: This low-carb casserole calls for some ingredients (like sour cream) that aren't typically found in casseroles. But these are great ways to create the same creamy texture most casserole dishes have. So when in doubt, use fat!
- Load up on cheese: Cheese is an especially good binder, and it's loaded with protein and fat, so it's completely low-carb friendly. Here's a general rule of thumb for keeping a casserole low-carb: the cheesier, the better!
- Up the protein and veggies: You can get the same amount of "bulk" in your casserole by adding more meat and low-carb veggies like onions, peppers, or greens to the dish.
- Use almond flour: Almond flour is a great baking substitute for traditional flour. It helps bind ingredients, make doughs, and thicken foods with a fraction of the carbs of all-purpose flour.
Keto-Friendly Ways to Customize This Recipe
Want to customize this low-carb keto cheeseburger casserole? Here are some ways to do that:- Add other low-carb veggies: Zucchini, bell peppers, tomatoes, cilantro, and riced cauliflower are all great options. And they're a great way to get more vitamins and minerals!
- Use ground turkey or ground chicken: Since these are leaner protein sources, using turkey or chicken is a great excuse to add more bacon!
- Serve with sliced avocados or guacamole: Need we say more?
- Use different cheeses: Combine three different cheeses or choose something that isn't cheddar!
- Mix up the spices: You can easily convert this low-carb casserole recipe into a Mexican-style taco casserole with chili powder and cumin. Or adding dill and lemon juice to make it Greek-inspired. Experiment with your favorite spices!
