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!

Karly says
Thank you!
Christine Harris says
I made this for my family of 5 and doubled it because my kids are high school and college athletes. They inhaled it! It was sooo good. This will make our dinner rotation!
Karly says
So glad to hear that! 🙂
Heather says
I will make this again and again and again!
Sharon says
I have made this recipe several times for family & friends . Always a big hit with everyone
Tiffiny says
I’ve done this recipe a few times. Love it. I’m considering trying it with ground turkey. Thoughts?
Karly says
I’m sure it will be delicious with turkey!
Jeff Smith says
Everyone in the house loved this dish. I did make a few modifications. I used lite cream cheese. Low fat cheese and did not add any additional salt. Some in my house have salt restrictions. I use a product called Organic No Salt from Costco. This dish is delicious. I made two double batches the last time I made it. I freeze a couple servings for my mother-in-law every time I make food.
Karly says
So glad you enjoyed the recipe! So sweet to save some for your mother in law!
Edwin Johnson says
A great base recipe for a low carb burger casserole. You have a lot of flexibility to tweak this recipe to your own taste. Personally, I added pickles and green onions and then garnished with pickled red onions.
Make it once as written to get a feel for the recipe and then play with the recipe a bit. You could easily make this tex-Mex, a bleu cheeseburger, etc.
Plenty of protein and fat, very few carbs. I’m going to lose weight eating this. It’s definitely going into my meal prepping rotation.
Scuff says
Very easy and it tastes great! Thanks!
Karly says
Thanks!
Dee says
Can this recipe be frozen?
Karly says
Yes, it should freezer really well. It’s basically a quiche that’s heavy on the meat. 🙂
Brandy says
So would we cook it before we freeze it, or freeze it without baking? I’m prepping it today.
Karly says
You could do either. This is basically just a meat heavy quiche, so it should freeze just the same. 🙂
Juhnie says
I love this recipe!! Quick, easy and very tasty
Jaclynn says
What would be the serving weight for one serving?
Karly says
I didn’t measure by weight.
Cleo says
This was sooooo delicious! Definitely going to make this often.
Karly says
Thanks, Cleo!
Paul Kelly says
Oh my…way to rich. The cheese and cream needs to be halved, then maybe.
Lisa says
Hands down the best recipe. My family loves it. I’ve made it 3 times already.
Karly says
Love to hear that! Thanks, Lisa!
April Shelton says
Made this recipe, but was highly disappointed. Something is overwhelming the taste, and I believe it’s got to be the . Worcestershire sauce. That’s the only thing that I wouldn’t normally put on a cheeseburger, and it’s overwhelming and leaves a nasty aftertaste. I may try it once more, but will definitely not be including Worcestershire.
Also, why do all recipe websites have so many ads? I could barely keep up with the recipe while cooking, because of videos popping up – same while trying to leave a comment.
Karly says
Hi April – sorry to hear this wasn’t to your tastes. Definitely leave out the Worcestershire sauce if it’s not a flavor you like.
As for ads, it’s a balancing act with us always trying to have the best possible reader experience while also running enough ads to cover expenses and pay my salary. This blog is my full time job and supports my family. The video ad that pops up is actually a video of the recipe being made, and while it does run an ad before and after, the hope is that the video itself is useful content to making the recipe.
