This dish is easy to customize to suit your preferences. If you want to save time, use pre-chopped broccoli and pre-shredded cheese. Cooking the ground beef in advance is another way to cut down on prep time.

Cheeseburger Broccoli Casserole Cooking Tips
- Use fresh broccoli for the best texture, but frozen broccoli can work.
- Brown the ground beef and drain any excess grease before combining it with the other ingredients to keep the casserole from becoming too greasy. I prefer lean ground beef which doesn’t yield much grease.
- For extra flavor, try adding a dash of red pepper or smoked paprika to the meat mixture.
- Bake the casserole until the cheese is fully melted and turns golden brown on top for the best flavor in your Keto Cheeseburger Broccoli Casserole.
