Key Ingredients

Here’s why each ingredient plays a key role in making this casserole rich, cheesy, and delicious:

• Ground Beef – The hearty base of the casserole, ground beef provides protein and a satisfying, meaty texture. Using an 80/20 blend adds great flavor while keeping the dish juicy.
• Onion – Adds a slight sweetness and depth of flavor to balance the savory beef. Using a small amount keeps it keto-friendly while enhancing the overall taste.
• Garlic Cloves – Fresh garlic infuses the casserole with rich, aromatic flavor, making each bite more delicious.
• Worcestershire Sauce – A key ingredient for that classic burger taste, Worcestershire sauce adds a touch of tang, and enhances the beefy richness.
• Cream Cheese – Makes the casserole ultra-creamy, helping to create a smooth, velvety texture.
• Eggs – Acts as a binder to hold everything together while adding structure and fluffiness to the casserole.
• Mustard – A classic burger ingredient, mustard brings a tangy kick that balances the richness of the meat and cheese.
• Heavy Whipping Cream – Adds richness and a creamy texture while keeping the casserole moist and indulgent. It also helps blend the flavors together.
• Shredded Cheese – A staple for any cheeseburger-inspired dish, cheddar cheese melts beautifully, adding gooey, cheesy goodness to every bite.
• Burger Seasoning – A flavorful blend of spices that enhances the beef with classic burger flavors, including hints of smokiness and spice.
• Salt and Pepper (to taste) – Essential for seasoning and balancing all the flavors in the dish.
• Bacon – Crispy, smoky bacon takes this casserole to the next level, giving it extra crunch and a bold, savory taste that pairs perfectly with the cheeseburger theme.
• Pickles – A game-changer! Chopped pickles or pickle slices makes the casserole taste just like a loaded cheeseburger.
