This Keto Cheeseburger Casserole has all the flavors of a juicy burger without the carbs! Your whole family will love this low carb cheeseburger casserole and you’ll love how simple it is to make!
Okay, friends, I have a good one for you today!
You know how sometimes you just really need a big, fat, juicy bacon cheeseburger? Happens to me daily, if we’re being honest.
I’m back on the low carb bandwagon again and one of those burger cravings hit. Of course, my bacon cheeseburger salad is always nice, but I’m getting a little sick of salad and wanted something filling and loaded with protein.
Enter this keto cheeseburger casserole. Oh, did I mention the bacon? Because obviously we added bacon.
This is now one of my new favorite low carb ground beef recipes. So filling, pretty simple to throw together, and a definite crowd pleaser.
This hamburger casserole recipe has been such a hit that I created this keto taco casserole too. Always love a Mexican spin on food!
I’ve also made a buffalo chicken casserole based off of this recipe! It’s just a winning combo.
Low Carb Cheeseburger Casserole Ingredients:

Beef – We’re using lean beef, but you can buy a fattier beef and just drain the excess grease.
Bacon – Dice it and fry it up.
Sauce – This low carb bacon cheeseburger casserole gets a creamy sauce made from cream cheese, reduced or no sugar added ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoned salt.
Egg – Seems weird in a cheeseburger casserole, but the egg holds everything together and adds extra protein and helps keep you full. This low carb casserole could also be considered a quiche, if you want to get technical.
Cheese – We sprinkle plenty of shredded cheddar over the top.
What Readers are Saying!
“This is one of the best low carb recipes I have ever found. Thank you!!! My husband and I both crave it all the time. I found it a month ago and I’ve already made it like 5 times. Crazy- I know. We just love it that much.” – Whitney
Does this keto hamburger casserole taste like eggs?
I’ve actually had a lot of people ask if this tasted egg-y and I really don’t think it does at all. There are just 4 eggs in the whole casserole, so that’s less than one egg per serving.
The eggs really just serve to hold everything together.
Serving Suggestions:
Give this a try with some diced red onion and pickles on top! Just note that any additional toppings you add will impact the carb count of this recipe.
This goes great with a side of cauliflower rice or a nice green salad topped with your favorite dressing. We like this homemade keto ranch dressing.
Is ketchup keto friendly?
Most ketchup is loaded with sugar, so you’ll want to be sure to read the labels. We use Heinz No Sugar Added Ketchup. It’s low in carbs and uses sucralose as the sweetener.
My kids actually prefer it to regular ketchup!

This was awesome! And so filling!
Courtney Hunt says
I liked it. I did not taste the eggs at all. Very cheesy and good texture.
Irene says
My Grandson is doing low carb and he really liked this very much. My granddaughter even liked this and she doesn’t like much meat or onions. I would make this again.
Karly says
Glad to hear that! Thanks, Irene!
P. Kelly says
I make this often when I have hamburger to use up. Love it.
Joanne MacLean says
My family and I enjoyed this recipe very much…. they didnโt even miss the carbs, although I served with corn on the cob! ?
SD says
I agree with Pat. This was not good, at all. Very disappointing especially with all the effort it takes. Won’t be a repeat for sure.
D. SILLIMAN says

I really do love a good cheeseburger casserole! Just wondering if the nutritional info is per serve or for the whole dish? Thank you
Karly says
The nutrition info is per serving.
Sarah Ritchie says
Can you clarify what a serving is ?
1/4 of recipe ? 1/8 of recipe? Thankyou in advance!
Karly says
Hi Sarah! The recipe serves 6. ๐
Lori Scena says
If you donโt drain dry every time you cook it is too oily with all the cheese added at the end.
Very tasty but too oily for me
Karly says
Hi Lori! The recipe does call for both the bacon grease and the beef to be drained. ๐
Cheryl says
This recipe is so good I make it way to often!! Wonder if anyone tried ground chicken instead of ground beef?
Pat Nevin says
Not very good….will definitely be a one timer..
D. Silliman says
Can you tell me what you did not like about it specifically? I’m getting ready to make it and may change the recipe for your comment. Thanks a lot
RC says
I made this exactly as written with the addition of a dill pickle diced up into the meat mixture. Served it over beds of shredded Romaine lettuce with a few grape tomatoes scattered about in the lettuce. It was so delicious!
Charlie says
It’s now in our rotation, this is very good, so easy to make.
Mae says
This recipe was great! My non-low carb husband totally inhaled it (left out the onions and hot sauce and halved the mustard for him) and i thoroughly enjoyed it as well. I thought it was easy and quick (i didnt measure anything- eyeballed it). I also made it around noon, up to the baking part, then refrigerated until i got home at 4:30 and baked it. My point us, it can be prepped ahead of time. Totally making it again when i have ground beef to use up.
Karly says
So glad it was a hit, Mae! Thanks for letting us know it can be made ahead. ๐
Old Beav says
This is good and very easy.. Added handfuls of fresh kale to the cooking ground beef and handfuls of frozen broccoli florets. Used half the amount of cheddar cheese, half the amount of salt. Served with salsa and sour cream. Zowie. So good.
