Low Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole
Description
Low Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole starts with crisp diced bacon cooked until browned, removed from the pan, and followed by cooking ground beef with onion and garlic. The beef mixture is enriched with cream cheese, mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoned salt to impart a balanced tang and savory depth. This mixture forms the casserole base, layered in an 8x8 dish with crisp bacon pieces. A mixture of eggs, heavy cream, hot sauce, and ground black pepper is whisked and poured over the beef and bacon, creating a set, custard-like texture once baked.
Cheddar cheese tops the casserole before baking at moderate heat until golden and firm. The iodine-rich dill sprinkled on top adds a fresh herbal accent to the robust flavors of bacon, beef, and cheese. This dish delivers a rich, creamy, and hearty profile, ideal for low carb meal planning.
The casserole can be served warm, and the baking ensures a firm slice with contrasting textures from the creamy egg layer, melted cheese, and crispy bacon. It works well as a main dish for dinner or brunch.
For sodium control, the recipe suggests using low sodium bacon and substituting seasoned salt with salt-free seasoning. Letting the casserole cool before serving helps it set properly, ensuring clean slices and optimal texture.
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound Bacon
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 onion diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons ketchup no sugar added
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 4 large egg
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 teaspoon dill fresh
Instructions
- Dice the bacon into small pieces and place in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring often, until crisp. Remove bacon from pan and set aside on a paper towel lined plate. Drain grease from pan.
- Add the ground beef, onion, and garlic to the skillet and cook until browned, crumbling as it cooks. Once beef is browned and cooked through, drain fat.
- Add the cream cheese, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoned salt to the skillet and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until combined.
- Spread the beef mixture into a greased 8x8 baking dish. Top with the cooked bacon.
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk together with the heavy cream, hot sauce, and pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture over the beef and bacon.
- Top with the cheddar cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until set and golden on top. Let cool 15 minutes before sprinkling with dill and serving.
Notes
- Use low sodium bacon and salt-free seasoning to reduce sodium content.
- Allow the casserole to cool 15 minutes after baking to set for easier slicing.
- Fresh dill added before serving enhances flavor with a subtle herb note.
