Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole
Don’t you just love casseroles? I sure do because you can basically throw in all your favorite ingredients and BOOM you have an incredible meal that gets devoured in minutes. We love this cheeseburger casserole on busy weeknights when we are in between running here and there. It’s a comforting meal that the kids and the entire family are more than excited to eat. So, if you struggle with finding low carb meals that the whole family eats, then add this one to your list.
They won’t be able to resist it, and it will save you TONS of time in the kitchen too.
Another thing I want to point out is that if you make this bacon cheeseburger casserole for meal prep, you can save time during the week too. I know when I first started eating low carb, it was hard for me to commit because I would feel like I didn’t want to cook after a long day. When you meal prep, you just have to warm up the food and enjoy it.
You spend one-day cooking and the rest working on other things instead. It’s a huge win all around, and I think you will enjoy the reward you get when you get used to it.
Cheeseburger Casserole Variations
There are tons of different ingredients you can add to this cheeseburger casserole to customize it. Here are some fun ideas for you to try out:
- Meats: you can swap the ground beef for ground turkey, chicken, or pork. They are all lovely options and taste great too.
- Mayonnaise: if you love to eat cheeseburgers with mayo, feel free to add some to the casserole. It’s a yummy flavor that goes well with the other ingredients.
- Turkey Bacon: you can exchange the regular bacon for turkey bacon if you’d rather. I like it both ways, and you can’t go wrong.
- Cheese: add some mozzarella, Colby Jack, Swiss, or any other cheese you love.
- Mushrooms: if you enjoy some mushrooms on your cheeseburgers, be sure to saute them and add them to the casserole.
Tips for making bacon cheeseburger casserole
- If there is excess grease from browning the hamburger, be sure to drain it. It’s extra calories and will make the bacon cheeseburger casserole a little runny.
- Feel free to add in any extra ingredients that you want as long as they are low carb. It’s your meal, so feel free to adjust it accordingly.
- Don’t overtake the cheeseburger casserole, or it will be a little bit dry. It’s still edible when it’s dried out, but it just doesn’t taste as good as when it is moist and delicious.
