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!

We very much enjoyed. Next time we will do 1/2 beef and 1/2 sausage. We used Badia complete seasoning instead of seasoned salt. Thanks for the recipe.
Linda Swoveland says
I haven’t tried this recipe but it sounds delicious!
I’m not on the keto diet, as per doctor recommendation, I’ve eliminated 5 things from my life. Potatoes, pasta, bread, rice and sugar.
I only have 6 pounds that I want to lose. Although I’ve yet to find a diet that eliminates any of my cravings, I’ve found this an easy eating plan to follow. And you definitely drop the pounds quickly.
So that being said, I’ll give the basics of this recipe a try with some modifications. I believe I don’t need all of the fat in this recipe to make a good casserole. For my version, no bacon, I’ll cook ground beef, onion, green peppers, cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, katchup,Worcestershire sauce and 2 eggs. That sounds like a pretty good combination to me. I’ll serve it with a nice salad.
John L says
Excellent. ย Second time Iโve made this. ย Substituted monterrey jack for the cheddar as couple family members donโt care for the cheddar. ย Will definitely make this again.
Karly says
Sounds like a great sub! ๐
Vickie S says
Made this tonight and it turned out great. Iโll be making it again, for sure. Didnโt have dill so I threw a dollop of dill cream cheese spread on top to get the dill flavor. Worked beautifully. Thanks for the recipeย
Karen says
It was so good. I added 1/2 c. chopped pickles and omitted the dill because I didn’t have dill. So easy to make.
Kristina says
My families new favorite low carb cheeseburger casserole recipe! I got burnt out on our old recipe and wanted something different. I loved the flavor of this one! My husband actually went back for 3rds haha. So I know it was good. My 8 year old daughter likes to make this in the muffin pan so she has individual ones. Which would be a great way to freeze and have servings to grab and warm up. All I had for bacon was the low sodium bacon pieces which my daughter used in her “bacon cheeseburger cupcakes” as she calls them. Thank you for the recipe!!
Karly says
Love the idea of making this in a muffin tin! Glad it’s a hit with your family. ๐
Maya says
Kristina, your daughter is a genius!!
Did you cook for the full 30 minutes that way?
I just love this idea.
Cheryl says
For some reason I cannot stomach the smell or taste of cream cheese….can you use sour cream instead? A lot of really good looking low carb recipes have cream cheese…
Karly says
I haven’t tried this with sour cream, but it would probably work. You could honestly just leave it out as well.
Sharon says
I just doubled the heavy cream and left out the cream cheese. It came out great.
Deronda Riley says
Fixed this for dinner this evening, it was very simple to put together and I found it to be really good. I added shredded lettuce, pickles, and chopped onion on top, I will be fixing this again.
Mandi says
How does it hold up to reheating for left overs? How many days would you say it could keep in the fridge prior to reheating? Iโm making it tonight and we are super excited to try it!ย
Karly says
It reheats great! I tend to be more conservative with leftovers, but I think this would last 3-4 days just fine.
Jo Kelly says
EGG ALLERGIES – HAVE YOU MADE IT WITHOUT THE EGG?
Karly says
No, the eggs bind this together and are a pretty important part. You could leave them out, but I’d skip baking it and maybe just eat the mixture with a fork.

I put your recipe for the low carb cheeseburger casserole into Carb Manager and Macros are off from what you have posted, the only changes I made was no hot sauce and no fresh dill.

That is based on six servings. A friend made it for me and I did find it very good. That just seems like a lot of carbs especially with not adding a side to it yet. I did the sweet onion at 3oz, omitting the sweet onion only decreased it by one carb.

Hi Steve – I calculated this using the brands/ingredients that I used with My Fitness Pal. Your results will vary based on the specific products you use.
Rosalie R Davis says
Did you use reduced ketchup it has 3 less carbs in it.
Amy K. says
Made it tonight and will make this again.
I’ll make 2 hanges for next time. I think I may have over drained any grease from the beef and the bacon. My casserole was a bit dry and I thinking I went unnecessarily overboard. Second change is no worchestire. I love the stuff, but there was a strong sweetness that I would rather go without.
Really appreciate the recipe!!
Calliope says
J totally loved this
Added sliced Roma tomatoes on top, sprinkled with green onions and dill. Very nice!
Heather says
This was Delicious!! I did add chopped dill pickles bc the tang really cuts the richness! and I also added a bell pepper, mushrooms, and tomatoes for bulk and to add in some vegetables for the kiddies. Came out Amazing! Thank you for the recipe! Perfect comfort food!
Lindsey Carlton says
I made this tonight. It is delicious! Served with 2 oz of arugula drizzled with olive oil. I plugged the entire recipe into MyFitnessPal.com and I got 5 carbs per serving! Still not bad, but I’m just curious how is there a discrepancy between 2 carbs and 5 carbs? Either way it still is a keeper for me.

I believe I used My Fitness Pal to calculate the nutrition and it can vary based on what exactly you enter and what brands you use. ๐
