If you're craving something indulgent yet low-carb, this Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole is a game-changer! It's packed with all the flavors of your favorite burger, but in a comforting casserole form. Perfect for meal prep or a cozy family dinner! Ingredients: - 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 for that juicy goodness) - 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional; feel free to sub with onion powder) - 4 cloves garlic, minced - 1 tsp salt - 1/2 tsp black pepper - 1 tsp smoked paprika - 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce - 8 oz cream cheese, softened - 1/2 cup heavy cream - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping) - 1/2 tsp mustard powder (optional, for an extra burger punch) - 6 slices cooked bacon, chopped - 1 cup sugar-free marinara or diced tomatoes (well-drained) - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese - Fresh parsley for garnish (optional) Directions: 1. Prepare the Beef Layer: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it's cooked through. Add in the chopped onion and minced garlic; cook until they're nice and soft. Season it all up with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and Worcestershire sauce. Drain any excess grease and set this deliciousness aside. 2. Make the Cheese Sauce: In a separate saucepan over low heat, mix the softened cream cheese with the heavy cream until it's smooth and creamy. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and mustard powder until everything is melted together beautifully. 3. Assemble the Casserole: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grab a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and start layering! First, spread half of the ground beef mixture. Then add half of the marinara or diced tomatoes, followed by half of the creamy cheese sauce and a sprinkle of mozzarella. Repeat these layers one more time for cheesy goodness! Finish it off with the remaining mozzarella and a generous amount of extra shredded cheddar. Top it all with the chopped bacon for that ultimate crunch. 4. Bake: Pop this beauty into the oven and bake uncovered for about 20-25 minutes, or until it’s all bubbly and the cheese is a lovely golden brown. 5. Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing in. If you like, garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color. Serve warm and enjoy every cheesy, savory bite!
