Back when the kids were little and the farm was always bustling, finding a dish that everyone loved while keeping an eye on health was a challenge. This low carb bacon cheeseburger casserole has been a keeper. Combining the smoky goodness of bacon, the savory taste of ground beef, and that unbeatable layer of bubbling cheese, it’s like a visit to an old-fashioned burger joint, but without all the carbs. Not only is it satisfying, but it’s also easily adaptable for those busy weeknights or a bit of nostalgia on a Sunday dinner.
This casserole pairs wonderfully with a crisp, green salad – perhaps with a homemade vinaigrette that offers a tangy contrast. Steamed broccoli or cauliflower can be excellent sides too, adding both color and crunch to your meal without packing on extra carbs. If you’re hankering for a bit more substance, a side of buttery green beans always delights.
