Juicy Bacon Jalapeno Keto Cheeseburger Casserole
Love delicious burgers?
How about creating a mouthwatering casserole with all the delicious flavors and ingredients of bacon cheeseburgers?! Yep, this hearty and comforting meal idea would make your casserole loving grandma proud, and it makes for a perfect low carb meal for your hungry family any day of the week. It does slightly remind me of a breakfast casserole, so I think this could be yummy for breakfast or dinner- you decide!
Grab your burger-related ingredients!
I could eat burgers every day, and this is just a fun way to serve them. Plus, I appreciate that this dish uses fairly common and frugal ingredients, so I feel like it’s budget-friendly, too.
You’ll need the classic ingredients like ground beef, bacon, cheese, and diced onion. I added jalapenos for additional flavor, but just omit if you don’t care for them. You’ll also want to grab any fun burger toppings like pickles, lettuce, or tomatoes for serving.
The process of this casserole is very easy!
You’ll cook the meat, onion, and garlic on the stove, and transfer the mixture to a 2.5-quart casserole dish with cooked bacon. Then you’ll whisk together the cream, eggs, plus some of the cheese and pour it over the meat mixture. This all gets topped with lots of cheddar cheese and gets baked in the oven for about 35 minutes.
This makes a very filling meal with four big servings, however, it would be completely easy to double the recipe for a bigger family and bake in a larger 9×13 casserole dish.
The warmed-up leftovers were just as good, so this is a great meal prep for a quick breakfast or lunch during the week.
Hip Tip: Love my vintage-inspired casserole dish? It’s a 2.5 quart Corningware dish in the nostalgic cornflower pattern we all fondly remember!

Serve as is or top it with your fav burger accompaniments!
I served mine with a crunchy dill pickle on the side, YUM. If you’d like to top with mustard and low-sugar ketchup, go ahead. Everyone on the Hip2Keto team loves No Sugar Added Heinz Ketchup. It’s so GOOD!
The result is a rich and filling cheesy casserole my family could not get enough of! Anything that is easy to make and tastes delish is a win for me. We really enjoyed this idea and I hope you will, too.
Make this creamy & dreamy low-carb chicken & broccoli casserole!
Jalepeño cheese burger. Delicious. However it is a whopping 824 calories per serving. Now obliged to go walking 5 miles to get protein, fat and calorie macros back in line for the day. Lesson learned:. Look at the nutrition for the recipe BEFORE deciding to make it.
Most importantly: only 4 gms carbs!
Does this turn out eggy?
It does not, Amy!
I just made this for my Keto Sister and Brother in law. It was delicious!!!
With all the usual burger add ons at the end, it tasted like a banquet burger.
Oh yay! I’m so glad you loved it as much as we did!
