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!

Shelley says
Is there a strong flavor of the hot sauce , because I donโt like spicy food.
Karly says
No, there isn’t. You can omit if you prefer.
Shelley says
Why are you adding the onion to cook after the beef is cooked ? Why not cook them together?
Karly says
I just prefer to do it this way. You can cook them together if you like.
julieann beaulieu says
Great recipe for non low carb ( yet to convert husband ) eaters. Had with a nice side of fresh sliced veggies. Delicious
Daisy says
Made this tonight for the second time, but this time I double the recipe so we would have leftovers. It is so good. Thanks, Karly, for the recipe. I am definitely going to have to try out some of your other recipes.
Karly says
Glad you enjoyed it! We love this one too!
Stephanie says
This is so delicious! I didnโt have any bacon and still good. I actually tripled the recipe so that may be why the recipe is โeggyโ which I donโt have a problem with but maybe that isnโt such a good idea next time. Also the egg mixture didnโt spread in between the cracks and it was one thick egg layer. Otherwise the taste was great! Thanks!ย
Rose says
I love this recipe! ย Iโve made it several times now. ย Today I made it using the Tyson grilled chicken in a bag. ย OMG! ย It tasres even better. ย Thank you for this recipe. ย The next time I make with hamburger I might throw I. Some chopped tomatoes. ย
Cheryl says
Can this be made without the ketsup and mustard?
Karly says
You can omit it, but they do contribute to the ‘burger’ flavor.
Kristy says
I tried this recipe and it was great! In fact it has made a whole week’s worth of lunches which is perfect. However, there is a step missing and for someone like me that needs everything spelled out when trying something new, it was noticeable. Upon heating up the onions, cream cheese, etc on the stove, there was no mention of incorporating them into the dish. I improvised and mixed everything in the with the eggs and cream and poured the whole mixture over the ground beef but…..you may want to revise the recipe to include the step for incorporating the onion mixture. Or they’ll remain on the stove while the casserole is baking separately.
Maeve says
The instructions say to add it to the skillet…. with the beef.
Karly says
Hi Kristy!
The steps are all included in the recipe. You’re supposed to cook the onion, cream cheese, etc. with the beef after draining the fat from the pan. ๐
Gabriella says
I would like to try to add some coconut flour to this recipe to create more volume.Do you see any problem with this idea ??
Karly says
I haven’t tried this and coconut flour is pretty finicky. I’m not sure if it will work or not.
Donna @ The Slow Roasted Italian says
Made this for dinner. Used 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder because I was too lazy to prep them. It was amazing! Thanks Karly.
Karly says
Glad you enjoyed it, Donna! ๐
Shelby says
Has anyone tried making this & freezing single servings for later meals?
Karly says
I haven’t tried it, but I think it would freeze great!
Susanne Frey says
Just made tonight with only changes being mushrooms added to meat and used grilling seasoning for burgers. Wow excellent didn’t miss the bun. Next time I’m going to add jalapenos also.
Karly says
Those sound like great changes! ๐
Kathleen says
This was so good! We used ground venison and also mixed the bacon in the meat mixture like someone suggested. I love dill so used dried dill weed in meat as well.
Jovida says
This was very tasty. ย I double the batch so weโd have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Will definitely be making this again!
Lisa says
This was amazing! I added chopped dill pickle at the request of my husband, and we both loved it. Will definitely be making this again, thank you for a wonderful recipe!
Karly says
Oh, I bet pickles were a great addition!
