Expert Tips

Baking Dish – This recipe is perfect in a 9×13 casserole dish. The ones with the lid are really handy if you are taking this dish somewhere. I use the disposable pans for weeks I need to save time on clean up.

Make Ahead – This Keto Hamburger Casserole is the perfect meal to meal prep with for the week. I like to prepare the casserole and then bake for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

Shredded Cheese – We recommend shredding the cheese yourself as the cheese will melt perfectly and it just taste better. Pre-Shredded cheese is added ingredients that are not necessary.

Serving Suggestions

This cheeseburger casserole can be served as a complete meal but I always serve with a side salad for a light side dish. You can also serve with Air Fryer Broccoli, Oven Roasted Asparagus or Easy Oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts.

We also love to serve this casserole with toppings which include slice pickles, shredded lettuce and a drizzle of sour cream.
