Dig into a delectable casserole loaded with bacon, ground beef, and cheddar cheese, brought together with a tangy sauce twist. This is where comfort food meets keto!

Hey, my lovely readers! It all started on a rainy Sunday when I had an intense craving for a juicy bacon cheeseburger but was also feeling just a touch too lazy to fire up the grill (okay, maybe more than a touch). On top of that, my keto journey was going strong, and I didn’t want to lose the momentum. And that’s when it hit me! Why not merge the indulgence of a cheeseburger with the warmth and ease of a casserole? That’s how the Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole was born in my kitchen. An ode to lazy Sundays and burger cravings, with a healthy twist. Keto fam, this one’s for you! And trust me, even the carb-lovers in your house won’t be able to resist this beauty.

Where do I even begin? Our Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole is basically what dreams are made of! Firstly, it’s keto-approved. So, for everyone walking the low-carb path, this is your holy grail. But wait, even if you aren’t on the keto bandwagon, the flavor-packed punch of this dish is irresistible. Bacon and ground beef unite for a savory duo, complemented by the rich, melty goodness of cheddar. The cherry on top? A tangy, one-of-a-kind sauce that’ll make your taste buds do the cha-cha!

Ingredients (in table sheet format):

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Ensure that the inside of a 9×13 casserole dish is adequately greased with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Cook the bacon: Using a large skillet, place it over medium heat. Cook the bacon until it achieves a crisp texture. Subsequently, extract the bacon with a slotted utensil and allow it to drain, placing it atop absorbent paper towels.
3. Cook the ground beef: Utilizing the residual fat in the skillet, introduce the ground beef. Cook it until it achieves thorough doneness, which approximately takes 8 minutes. After the ground beef is adequately cooked, remove any excess grease. Integrate the Montreal steak seasoning into the beef, ensuring an even distribution of flavor.
4. Combine ingredients: In an adequately sized mixing vessel, amalgamate all the aforementioned ingredients. Once an even consistency and distribution are achieved, transfer the contents to the previously prepared casserole dish.
5. Bake: Insert the dish into the preheated oven. Allow it to bake for a duration of 30 minutes or until it exhibits thorough cooking. Once completed, it is ready for serving.

Enjoy your delicious Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole!
