Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

Ingredients

• Ground beef (1 lb)
• Bacon (6 slices, cooked and crumbled)
• Onion (1 small, diced)
• Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
• Cream cheese (4 oz, softened)
• Mayonnaise (1/4 cup)
• Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon)
• Worcestershire sauce (1 tablespoon)
• Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
• Pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
• Cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)
• Tomato (1 medium, diced (for topping))
• Lettuce (1 cup, shredded (for topping))
• Pickles (1/2 cup, diced (for topping))

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture, crumbled bacon, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
4. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously on top of the beef mixture.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are slightly golden.
7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Top the casserole with diced pickles, shredded lettuce, and diced tomatoes for a fresh crunch and added flavor.
