A delicious one-dish low carb meal for the entire family is this Keto Casserole With Ground Beef. The quick and simple keto ground beef dish is ideal for feeding a large group, meal prepping, or a potluck because it comes together quickly.

Low Carb Meal

Easy low-carb meal for dinner using ground beef on the keto diet

You could be seeking for excellent work potluck ideas and simple Christmas potluck recipes now that the holiday season is in full gear. As it has for my family, I hope this delicious keto ground beef dish becomes a family favorite for you as well.

Instead, this keto ground beef casserole employs a combination of three good low-carb vegetables, making it both a keto-friendly and slim beef casserole.

This layer-based weeknight meal is minimal in carbs. The homemade ground beef casserole is made up of three main layers.

The layer of vegetables

Broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots make up the casserole’s foundation. I just cut the cauliflower and broccoli into small florets and sliced the carrots. The vegetables must first be stir-fried in order to fully prepare them. Additionally, seasoning is important because no one enjoys mushy, flavorless veggies.

To save time and hasten the preparation of this straightforward homemade casserole, you can either use fresh veggies or frozen goods.

The filling layer of ground beef

Without ground beef, a nutritious ground beef casserole is plainly impossible. Onion and minced garlic are sautéed with ground beef in this layer.

Simply leave out the garlic in the recipe if you don’t like it. Use just one little clove of garlic for a subtle garlic flavor, and two large garlic cloves for a robust garlic flavor.

A cheese garnish

The cheese topping is the final layer of the keto ground casserole.

Before baking, season the keto casserole with a little salt and pepper, depending on how salty the cheese is.

Guidelines for preparing a keto ground beef casserole

This gluten-free ground beef casserole comes together quickly and is a good keto dinner or option for entertaining. Best feature? To fry the steak and vegetables, just one pan is required.

Here are some pointers for making a nutritious keto ground beef casserole:

the vegetables in a pan. The vegetables are stir-fried in butter and oil. Place them in the casserole dish as soon as they are tender and gently browned.

Don’t sauté the beef for any longer than that; else, the flesh may dry out.
Put the casserole together. In the casserole dish, top the veggie layer with the beef mixture.
Cover the nutritious beef casserole. Over the low-carb dish, evenly distribute the shredded cheese.
Bake the casserole with keto meat. The low-carb casserole is baked once the layers are put together, until the cheese is melted and gooey.

Notes

How to use cups to measure the veggie
Use these guidelines if you’re measuring the vegetables by volume (in measuring cups):

Carrots: First, slice up some carrots. Then, stuff as many carrot slices as possible into a measuring cup.
Broccoli and cauliflower: Cut or break the vegetables into tiny florets. Fill the cup with the cauliflower by pressing it down.
