Here’s everything you need to make this meaty and cheesy casserole recipe. Head to the recipe card at the bottom of the article to see the exact amounts for each ingredient.
- Bacon: use your favorite variety.
- Ground beef: you can also use ground turkey or chicken if you prefer.
- Onion: I use a yellow onion for this recipe, but a white one will work too.
- Tomato paste: A hint of tomato paste adds an authentic cheeseburger flavor.
- Mustard: just like the tomato paste, the mustard helps add a true cheeseburger flavor. Don’t worry, it is not an overwhelming flavor.
- Cream cheese: this lends to the richness of the dish and makes the texture ultra creamy.
- Broth: Chicken or beef broth will work in this recipe.
- Spices: Onion powder, Garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Cheddar cheese: For best results, grate your own cheese. However, pre-shredded will work fine, too.
How to Make Keto Cheeseburger Casserole Skillet
Here’s how to make this 20-minute casserole dinner.
Cook the bacon. Heat a skillet over medium heat, and spray it lightly with cooking spray. Add the chopped bacon and cook until it’s crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain all but 1 tablespoon of the grease.
Sauté the meat and onions. Add the ground beef and onion to the skillet and cook until the meat is browned. Drain any remaining grease from the pan.
Make the sauce. Put the spices, broth, mustard, tomato paste, and cream cheese in the skillet. Stir until the cream cheese melts and turns into a sauce.
Add the bacon and cheddar. Turn the heat to low and place the cooked bacon and shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Finish cooking. Put a lid on the skillet and cook until the cheese is completely melted. This should take 5-7 minutes.
