Keto Big Mac Casserole
Description
The Keto Big Mac Casserole blends browned ground beef cooked with diced onions, seasonings, and Worcestershire sauce with softened cream cheese to produce a creamy, meaty base. Dill pickle relish is folded in to echo the tanginess of the iconic Big Mac. An egg and heavy cream mixture is gently poured over the beef in a casserole dish, binding the components together as it bakes. Topped with shredded cheddar cheese and baked until golden and set, this dish yields a warm casserole with a velvety and firm texture. The layered flavors reflect the mouthfeel and taste elements of the original burger, with a focus on keto-friendly ingredients.
This casserole works well as a main dish for those following low-carb or keto diets, providing a filling and flavorful meal without bread. It’s suitable for dinner or meal prep and pairs well with simple sides like greens or a crisp salad.
