A rich, creamy, and cheesy keto-friendly casserole combining ground beef, bacon, and cheeses for a satisfying low-carb dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (about 200 g)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (120 ml)
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, chop into bite-sized pieces. Leave some bacon fat in the skillet.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet with the bacon fat. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink, about 7-9 minutes. Drain excess grease if necessary.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, heavy cream, yellow mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth. Beat in the eggs until fully incorporated.
  5. Stir the browned beef and chopped bacon into the creamy cheese mixture until evenly combined.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly in your prepared casserole dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until cheese is bubbling and a golden crust forms. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly.
  8. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top before serving.

Notes

Do not overcook bacon to avoid bitterness. Use room temperature eggs and cream cheese to prevent lumps. Drain excess fat from beef to avoid greasiness. Let casserole rest before serving for easier slicing. Multitask by cooking bacon and beef simultaneously if possible. If casserole is too runny, bake a few extra minutes. Softening cream cheese beforehand makes mixing easier.
