Pin This RecipeAnyone else over indulge the past couple of months? Turkey, dressing, ham, potatoes, cookies, and pie. SO much good food. I feel like we need to hit the reset button in January and get back on track. Today I am sharing a delicious Low-Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole. Hamburger, bacon, cheese, seasonings, and eggs. It is like a crustless quiche. We love quiche in our house, so I knew this would be a winner!
When I hear low-carb, I usually think low taste. Well, this Low-Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole is low on carbs, but high on taste. To keep the carbs extra low, look for a low-sugar ketchup. There are only two tablespoons of ketchup in the whole casserole, but low-sugar ketchup is good to have on hand for everyday use.
We ate this for lunch and leftovers for dinner the same night. It was really, really good. We loved all the flavors! We also loved that it was ready to eat in about 30 minutes! I know a lot of you like make-ahead and freezer meals. This casserole can be frozen unbaked or baked for a quick meal later. If you freeze it unbaked, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before baking. I just pop it in the fridge before I go to bed and it is ready to bake for dinner the next day.
We usually eat this casserole with some keto biscuits and a salad or green beans. Here are a few of our favorite recipes from the blog that go great with this dish:

If you sub in heavy cream or 1/2 'n 1/2 for the milk, this gets this dish about as low carb as possible. We have made this at least 4 times in recent months and just added Vidalia onions for the onion flakes.
I made this for dinner tonight and my family just loved it. My Husband and daughter are both on diets and thought it tasted way too good to be low carb.
Not a ketchup fan… does it really adversely affect the outcome to omit it?
should be fine
Made this for supper tonight and it was really good. My love even had seconds (which confirmed he liked it).
I would love to know the calorie count. I wish I had calculated it while I was cooking.

I know this a weird question, but do we know how many calories in a serving or anything along this lines? Doesn't have to be exact. Counting calories but this looks so good. Thank you.
Made this tonight for dinner. My husband loved it. I made it in a 9×13 pan but it was a little on the runny side. So I put it back in the oven for 15 minutes. I also added mushrooms I cooked them first then added them into the meats.
This was so good. Made it last night. Definitely a permanent addition to our menu
If you make this in advance to put in the fridge or freezer do you go ahead and bake it and then just warm it up?
I freeze it unbaked and thaw it. You can bake it and then freeze it if you prefer. Either way is fine
Great! It's in the oven now!
Can you omit the sour cream? I'm out
You can try it. Just add a little more milk to make up for the missing sour cream. Should be fine????
Does this taste 'eggy'?
This was amazing! Hubby is on Keto and usually on Sundays, we try one new recipe a week for his lunch. I didn't have low-sugar ketchup so I substituted tomato sauce with a little splenda in it. I also used 1/4 cup diced onion instead of the onion flakes. Fantastic recipe!!
Using ground chicken works great!
This was too funny. I made this dish last night and one of my college age children put some in a flour tortilla and added salsa like a breakfast buritto. The other one put a slab in a hamburger bun. I tried to tell them that the whole point was be LOW CARB!
LOL! Hey! At least they enjoyed it! ????
Can i double this for a 9×13 pan?
That should be fine.
OMG! I think. Found dinner for tomorrow night.
I made this tonight and it was stupendous. I need to make 2 though. For seconds and freezer leftovers.
Can you use "real bacon pieces?"
Absolutely
Can you substitute the milk for almond milk or even heavy cream? I would like to cut the carbs a little more. Thank you!
You can certainly give it a try!
Can you omit the eggs?
Not in this recipe
