How to Make Low-Carb Cheeseburger Casserole
1. Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish (8×8 or similar).
2. Brown the Ground Beef
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the beef until no longer pink. Add chopped onion and garlic, season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until onions are soft. Drain any excess grease.
3. Make the Egg Mixture
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, mustard, garlic powder, and 1/2 cup shredded cheese until well combined.
4. Assemble the Casserole
Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly into the bottom of the baking dish. Pour the egg and cream mixture over the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
5. Bake
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden and bubbly.
6. Garnish & Serve
Let it rest for 5 minutes. Top with sliced pickles or crispy bacon if desired. Slice and enjoy!
Optional Add-Ins & Toppings
Get creative with your toppings! Try adding:
- Cooked bacon bits
- Diced pickles for tang
- Sautéed mushrooms
- Tomato slices before baking
- Jalapeños for a spicy twist
