Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or chicken
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup (keto-friendly version recommended)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Optional: Cooked broccoli florets, spinach, mushrooms, or bacon bits
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef or chicken over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed soup, heavy cream, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Add the cooked meat and onion mixture to the soup mixture. If using any optional vegetables or bacon bits, stir them in now.
- Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Let it stand for a few minutes before serving.
Tips
- Use a sugar-free, keto-friendly condensed soup or make your own to keep carbs low.
- Don’t overcook the vegetables if adding them, as they will continue to cook in the oven.
- For a richer flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of Worcestershire sauce (check carb count).
- If you prefer a crispier topping, sprinkle a little extra cheese or some crushed pork rinds on top before baking.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve hot as a main course.
- Pairs wonderfully with a simple green salad dressed with a keto vinaigrette.
- Can be enjoyed as a hearty breakfast or brunch option.
Storage Tips
Store leftover casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until heated through.
