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.

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!

oh my sweet goodness. Your low carb recipes are so amazing. I went to the grocery store yesterday to stock up on some items we don’t have so I can MAKE THEM ALL! I was getting so sick of eating atkins bars and plain salads. THANK you for the creativity! I love this- and my husband did too! I felt like I was cheating! ๐

Giving this a shot tonight with the variations of turkey burger instead of beef, 3 eggs instead of 4 and skim milk instead of heavy cream. ย I also diced up some pickles and threw them in with the meat mixture. ย I will let you know the outcome ?
Karly says
Hope it turned out great!
Julie Cross says
Yep, turned out awesome! Hubby took seconds! I do think the chopped up pickles added a lot to it!

Tanya says
Made this today but used ground turkey and we loved it!
Karly says
Glad to hear that!
Cynthia says
This looks really good I was wondering if you can ” lighten ” it up by using egg beaters or egg whites , Low- fat cream chees and maybe a lower fat substitute for the heavy cream it’s a little too much fat for me as a weight watcher person……. what do you think?
Karly says
I think that would likely work fine, though I haven’t tried it.
Jocelyn says
My family loved this! ย I lightened it up a teeny bit, but the flavor was not compromised one bit. ย Thanks so much!
Alison says
How did you lighten the recipe? Too many calories for me!
Jocelyn says
Hi, Alison! ย
To lighten the recipe I used 6 oz. of bacon (instead of 8 oz), low fat cream cheese, 1% milk instead of cream, and 4 ounces of extra sharp cheddar (instead of 8 oz.). ย Also, I drained the cooked ground beef well.
I hope this helps,
Jocelyn

Can you leave out the Worcestershire sauce. I can’t eat alot of hot stuff.ย
Karly says
Worcestershire isn’t spicy, it just adds a savory flavor. You can leave it out if you prefer.
Kristie says
My picky husband said “omg,this is so good I don’t wavy turn eat it because I don’t want it to be gone”. It was that good! Also approved by my 3 year old and me! Very good!
Karly says
So glad you guys enjoyed it!
Dianna says
It says 4 Tablespoons of Cream Cheese but in the video it looks like a half a block which is 4 ounces… is it the same and if you don’t like cream cheese can you suggest a substitution… may just heavy cream?
Karly says
4 tablespoons is the correct amount. ๐ I haven’t tried this without the cream cheese, but you could probably add in some jack cheese instead.
Andrea says
I made this last night, and oh my gosh, it’s amazing.
My husband ate his portion on a bun, but he’s a skinny dude who works a physical job all day, so he’s not watching his carbs.
I ate mine on a plate, and I was blown away at how yummy it was. I was a little skeptical with the eggs and cream cheese, but it works so well together. The only thing I’d do in the future is add more hot sauce, but that’s a taste preference.
Karly says
I like mine with lots of hot sauce drizzled on top! ๐ Glad this was a hit for you.
