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!

Delicious! Made this for the first time tonight. I didn’t have any fresh dill so I put some chopped up dill pickles the meat mixture before putting it in the oven. So good! Very easy recipe to follow. I’m sure I will get 6-8 servings out of it.
E. M. says
How are you only calculating 2g carbs per serving? I plugged it all into carb manager and it’s 7.4 per serving….
Karly says
Hi E.M. We used My Fitness Pal to calculate this using the brands that we used. Results may vary depending on what brands you use and between the different calculators.
Sarah says
Can you make this in a
Cast iron skillet and transfer it to the oven, or does it have to be a casserole dish??
Karly says
I think it would probably work in a cast iron, so long as it’s well seasoned. The eggs may stick otherwise.
Jacquie says
My kids and I LOVE this recipe!! It was a huge success in my house!! Thank you so much!!
Karly says
Awesome! Love to hear that!
Jacquie Walker says
This is so good!!! How many ounces is a serving?
Karly says
We did not measure by weight.
Kaylyn h says
Absolutely perfect!!! I was a little skeptical about the eggs but it couldnโt have turned out better, HUGE HIT
Karly says
So glad you enjoyed it, Kaylyn!
Gail says
I loved this recipe and appreciate the nutrition information. I did not see how many servings or how large a service size is though. Sorry if I missed it.
Karly says
Hi Gail! This recipe makes 6 servings.
Sara says
Is a serving 1 cup? Love this recipe!
Karly says
We didn’t measure this by volume, we just cut into 6 squares.
Mary says
How do you know there are only 2 net carbs per serving if the servings arenโt measured? Or is it calculated by dividing total carbs by 6? Do you have an idea of how many ounces a serving is… for those of us who are strict at following macros?
Karly says
Hi Mary, I didn’t measure the serving by ounce, but it’s pretty simple to evenly divide into 6 servings considering it’s a square baking dish. Just cut it evenly.
Cristina says
I would love to try this out! All I have is an 8×8 dish, do you think that will be big enough? Thanks!
Karly says
This recipe calls for an 8×8 dish.
Cristina says
Thanks for the fast response, going to make this for my boyfriend tonight!
Kay says
If I wante to use 9×13 pan would you just dbl the recipe? And if so would I need to cook longer?
Karly says
Yes, I would double the recipe. It will likely take a bit longer to cook, but I can’t say how long.
Heidi says
