How To Make Cheeseburger Casserole

Variations

Make it a true cheeseburger. If you’ve gone grocery shopping lately, you’ve likely grabbed a package or two of keto hamburger buns. Scoop a hearty portion of this cheeseburger casserole onto the bun for a delicious cheeseburger sloppy joe hybrid. Switch up the leftovers. If you have leftovers and want to make them into something that tastes a little different, warm the leftovers and serve them over a leafy salad and drizzle my Big Mac Sauce over the top for a quick take on my Big Mac Salad recipe. Use it for dipping. This keto casserole doubles as a great appetizer or dip! Use your favorite low carb chips or some pork rinds to add a crispy crunch to your next party bite. Add in pasta. Ok, I know this one isn’t a keto-friendly variation, but sometimes you have to cook for people that don’t eat with people that have similar dietary goals as you do. To make this a Cheeseburger Mac casserole, cook some pasta until al dente, stir in with the hamburger mixture before pouring it into the skillet, top with cheese, and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
