Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ pound bacon, cooked and chopped
Condiments and Seasonings
- 2 Tbsp sugar-free sugar ketchup
- 2 Tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 Tbsp dried onion flakes
- 1 Tbsp ranch dressing mix
Dairy
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup milk (or heavy cream)
- ½ cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Lightly spray an 8×8-inch or 11×7-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook beef. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat to keep the casserole from being greasy.
- Mix beef ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, chopped cooked bacon, sugar-free ketchup, yellow mustard, dried onion flakes, and ranch dressing mix. Spread this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Then, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
- Prepare egg mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or heavy cream), and sour cream until smooth and well combined. Pour this creamy egg mixture over the beef and cheese layer in the pan.
- Bake the casserole. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and slightly golden on top. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute heavy cream for milk to increase richness and fat content for a stricter keto diet.
- Feel free to add chopped pickles or diced onions for extra cheeseburger flavor.
- Use sugar-free ketchup to keep carbs low and keto-friendly.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
