Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (preferably grass-fed)
- 4 slices crispy bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup diced onions
- 1 cup chopped pickles (optional)
- 1 cup sugar-free ketchup or tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Add diced onions, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, then cook until onions are translucent. Drain excess fat if needed, and stir in sugar-free ketchup or tomato sauce.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the beef mixture evenly in a baking dish. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and pickles if using.
- Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. Pair with a fresh salad or roasted low-carb vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
- Let the casserole cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in an oven or air fryer for best results.
- Customize with extra toppings like sliced tomatoes or lettuce for added freshness.
- You can swap ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
