When 5 pm was staring at me last night and I had no clue what I was making for dinner I decided to make my husband's favorite cheeseburger into a keto hamburger casserole. That way my kids wouldn't be asking where the buns were. I didn't have to put out a bunch of toppings. And adding a microwave bag of veggies completed the meal.

We love burgers any variation we can come up with such as this Keto Cheeseburger Soup Recipe. If you do too you should try both of these recipes!

How to Make a Burger Bake

Press the seasoned ground meat into the bottom of a casserole dish. Top with any toppings that need a little longer to cook. At this point, I put on the bacon crumbles, mushrooms, and onions.

Cook the casserole for 20 minutes. Carefully drain the cooking liquid. This step is very important or you will end up with a watery burger bake. Top with the cheese and bake until the cheese is melted and the meat is thoroughly cooked.

What type of Ground Meat Should I Use?

You can use any kind of ground meat for this baked hamburgers recipe. We use a lot of ground turkey in my house because I prefer the taste and because it's cheap. My husband prefers ground beef. Ground chicken, ground venison, or ground pork can work too! Or feel free to use a combination.

Toppings for a Burger Bake

I use bacon, onions, mushrooms, and cheddar on my giant baked hamburgers. To give these a big mac flavor bake and then top with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and thousand island dressing.

Or go gourmet and use some blue cheese and arugula. Most of the time I eat a burger I still lean to American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, mayo, and a little sugar-free ketchup.

What should I Serve with a Keto Hamburger Casserole?

I serve this with a lighter vegetable such as green beans, keto coleslaw, or my garlic broccoli or on top of a green salad. For a real comfort food meal, you can serve it with keto mashed cauliflower.
