Why We Like This Keto Cheeseburger Broccoli Casserole
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I make this ahead of time? Yes, prepare the casserole, cover it tightly, and store it in the fridge for up to two days. When ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before placing it in the oven.
  • Can I freeze it? Yes, assemble the casserole without baking, cover it with foil, and freeze. When ready to cook, thaw it in the fridge overnight and bake as directed.
