What is Low Carb Ground Beef Casserole?

If you’ve ever tried a casserole, then you know how delicious it can be. A low carb ground beef casserole isn’t anything fancy. It has ground beef, spices, and lots of cheese.

You will make lots of food, which means you can have plenty of leftovers. You can put the leftovers in the fridge or freeze them for later.

Can I Use Leftover Beef for Low Carb Ground Beef Casserole?

There may be a time after you’ve cooked, that you have a lot of ground beef leftover. Ground beef is very good when you put it into a casserole. The taste is great and you don’t waste any food. I don’t know about you, but food can be expensive, so it’s nice when I can use up what I have.

How to Store Low Carb Ground Beef Casserole

After you’ve made this recipe, you don’t want it to go to waste. I like to stock up on airtight containers for the fridge. When you place something like this in the fridge, you want to make sure it has reached room temperature first.

You don’t want the food growing bacteria of any kind. You also want it to be an airtight container, so air and bacteria can’t get into the food.

Here are a few photos we took while making this amazing recipe.

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper
10 strips of bacon or so
1 - 6 oz can of tomato paste
8 eggs
3 tablespoons of coconut flour
1 package 12 oz sharp cheddar cheese (or any cheese you prefer)
1 cup of heavy cream

Instructions

Start by cooking the hamburger meat first. Be sure to add the minced garlic and onion powder while you are frying it. This will give the ground beef a good amount of flavor.
Once the ground beef is fully cooked, drain the fat.
Add the bacon crumbles to the mixture.
Then add the small 6 oz can of tomato paste to the meat. Mix it thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, 6 oz of cheese, 1 cup of heavy cream and 3 tablespoons of coconut flour.
By this time the ground beef mixture should have cooled down some.
Add the ground beef mixture to the egg mixture and mix it till it's well combined. (the first time I made this recipe layered the ground beef and put the mixture over the top. You can do it this way but I like it mixed a little better.)
I sprayed my casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and filled it with my casserole mixture.
Top the casserole with the remaining 2 oz of shredded cheese and put it in the oven.
I used my favorite Pioneer Woman casserole dishes. I used the small casserole pan that measures 11.75 in x 8.25 in x 2.5 in with a depth. This recipe filled it all the way to the top. The size of your pan will determine the cooking time. This size pan took about 40 minutes to cook. You will know when the casserole is done by sticking a knife in the center of the mixture. If the knife comes out clean, then the center of the casserole is completely cooked. If it doesn't, it needs more time.
If I would have used a larger casserole dish, I probably would only have to cook this casserole for about 30 to 35 minutes. Just keep the cooking time in mind when you choose the size of your dish.
