    Recipes Tips

    • Sugar-free tomato paste: Make sure your tomato paste is sugar-free. You can substitute it with sugar-free ketchup.
    • Using frozen green beans: If using frozen green beans in your keto ground beef casserole, you do not need to thaw them. They will cook completely when baking.

    Recipe Variations

    • Mix with ground pork: You can use ground pork in addition to beef for extra flavor. Use a mixture of 1 pound ground beef and 5 ounces ground pork if you would like to use pork.
    • Other veggies to use: Not a fan of green beans? You can still make this easy keto hamburger recipe! Try using cauliflower or broccoli instead. Broccoli is one of our personal favorites!

    Is hamburger casserole gluten-free?

    Yes, ours is! Just double check your tomato paste and Dijon mustard to make sure they are gluten-free.

    Can I make it ahead of time?

    Yes! Low carb hamburger casserole is a perfect make-ahead dinner idea. Prepare everything in the baking dish, wrap in foil, and then save to bake later.

    If you have a friend who’s about to have a baby, this is a perfect recipe to surprise them with. They can pop it right in the oven and be done with it! With 8 total servings, they’ll have plenty of leftovers to enjoy.

    Yes, easily! Simply double the ingredients used.

    Easy keto hamburger recipes like this one are perfect for parties. Since it’s a gluten-free recipe too, everyone at a gathering can enjoy it! We guarantee it will be a hit.

    Doubling the recipe is perfect for when you’d like to have just a few extra leftovers for the week. And trust us – this cheeseburger casserole recipe makes amazing leftovers!

    Can cheeseburger casserole be frozen?

    Yes! This is one of the best ground beef keto recipes to freeze.

    Prepare everything as instructed and layer in the baking dish. Then, either bake and then freeze, or freeze before baking.

    If freezing before baking, add an additional 15 to 20 minutes to the baking time when you’re ready to cook it.

    If you freeze it after baking, thaw it in the fridge overnight, and then heat it back up in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

      Where did you find sugar free tomato paste? I am making this recipe tonight but don’t see any in stores.

        Hi Nicole! The can itself might not say ‘sugar-free’ on the front, but generally the organic tomato paste varieties won’t have any sugar added (it will say no sugar added on the back of the label). You can also order tomato paste if you’re not able to find it! Sugar-free ketchup works too! Hope this helps – please enjoy!

      I don’t like the bitter taste of tomato paste. Can I use tomato sauce. Do I drain the hamburger grease or leave it in?.

        Hi Linda! You can absolutely use tomato sauce if you prefer. Tomato paste has a thicker consistency, though, so a better choice might be ketchup or tomato puree. Please enjoy!

      Should it actually be a 9 x 13 pan and not 8 x8? Thank you

        Hi Lisa! Yes, that was an error on our part. We recommend a 9×13 pan. Thank you!
