How to Make Low-Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole:

Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef (grass-fed, if possible)

6 slices of bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any low-carb milk of your choice)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon mustard (Dijon or yellow)

Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional toppings: diced pickles, sliced tomatoes, diced onions, lettuce, sugar-free ketchup, and mustard

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, almond milk, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Add the cooked ground beef and crumbled bacon to the bowl, and mix everything together until the beef is evenly coated with the sauce.
5. Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish, and spread it out evenly.
6. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through.
8. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
9. Optionally, top with diced pickles, sliced tomatoes, diced onions, and lettuce for added freshness and crunch. Drizzle with sugar-free ketchup and mustard if desired.
