 How to Make Low-Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

Step 1: Cook Your Bacon

Start by crisping up 6 slices of bacon. You can bake, fry, or air-fry them. Drain on paper towels, then crumble and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Beef Mixture

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef with diced onions and garlic. Add salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard. Cook until the meat is browned and the onions are soft—about 8 minutes.

Tip: Drain excess grease to avoid a soggy casserole.

Step 3: Prep the Egg Custard

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, mayo, paprika, onion powder, and cayenne.

This custard binds everything together and adds a creamy texture that mimics a rich cheeseburger sauce.

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly in a greased 9×13 baking dish. Pour the custard over the meat, then top with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon.

Step 5: Bake

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden on top.

Let it cool for about 5–10 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up.

 Serving Suggestions

You can serve this keto cheeseburger casserole with:

• A side salad with ranch or blue cheese dressing
