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!

LOVED IT!!!!
We really enjoyed it. The next time that I make it (which will be soon) I am going to try putting some pineapple chunks in it.
ASH KINS says
Hi – a new fan here. So I absolutely adored this. I made it for a work pot luck. I subbed in half ground turkey and half lean ground beef, just to mix it up a bit. Also I forgot to buy cream cheese (?) so instead I used half french onion dip and half 18% sour cream. For the top I used strong aged cheddar as well as a horseradish mozzarella, and chopped up some burger pickles before serving. Thank you soooo much! I can’t wait to try some more of your recipes! xx Ash – Toronto, ON

Brenda cluett says

Tanya Owen says
Great Go-to recipe!
Tanya says
I love this recipe! My family loves this recipe. I made a couple slight modifications:
I used ground turkey instead of ground beef (it’s what i had on hand).
I used fresh salsa instead of the sf ketchup (because I didn’t have any).
and I used dehydrated onions because I didn’t have any fresh on hand.
Overall it is a great success! YUM
Stacey Smith says
I put turkey bacon on top last night and my Hubby , 3 sons wiped it out. I got a serving to eat of it lol!
Laura says
can you replace the heavy cream with skim or 2% milk or anything else lower in calories?
Thanks!
Karly says
Yep, it’ll change the carb count though.
PEGGY NUSBAUM says
When I put this recipe in Carb Manager and divide it by 8 servings it comes out to 3gm Carbs per serving.
Karly says
I used My Fitness Pal to calculate this one based on the brands I used.
Melanie says
Is this total carbs or Net carbs?? Unfortunately, I need to count the total carbs, not just net….
Also, what would you consider a serving size?? 6 ounces??
Karly says
This is total carbs. I didn’t measure the serving by volume. Just cut into 6 equal sized pieces.
Mindy says
I love this!! I make it once a week! Thanks for sharing!
Mary says
This is a yummy dish. Weโve been making something very similar for 25 years. I always add chopped dill pickle. I love the addition of cream cheese. Thanks for more Low Carb recipes.ย
Roxanne says
Wow, adding dill pickle sounds amazing. I wish I had seen that earlier! I have this in the oven right now (doubled and in a 9 x 13 pan, since I have a lot of people to feed and will take leftovers to work for lunch tomorrow!)
Lauren Love says
This is soooo good! I substituted sugar free tomato sauce for the ketchup and milk for the cream, and no Worcestershire, and itโs seriously the most amazing thing ever!!! My kiddos gobbled it up too. Thanks!
Deedee brewer says
Would it be ok to make it a day early and refrigerate it and bake the next day?
Karly says
I think it should be fine!
Heather says
How many servings and what’s a serving size?
Karly says
This recipe makes 6 servings.
Jessica says
Can you double everything in the recipe to feed more people? Has anyone tried that?
Karly says
You should be able to double and bake in a 9×13. Just keep an eye on the time – not sure how it will affect that.
Heidi T says
I doubled everything and it was PERFECTย
Emily Eggleston says
I doubled everything except the eggs and milk. It still took 30 minutes to cook and it was delicious! I took it to a church lunch and brought home an empty dish ?
Jean Marie says
I like the base of this recipe but think I need more veggies to balance out the richness. Anyone try this with cabbage or broccoli or just eat with lettuce and tomatoes?
Tracy says
I make mine with cabbage and cauliflower! ย I’ve also used brussel sprouts chopped fine. ย It’s really good. ย Even the non-Keto family members like it, including the kids!
