Cheesy Hamburger and Broccoli Casserole {Keto}
Jumat, 30 Agustus 2019
Edit
Like a cross between a cheeseburger and a lasagna, this comforting keto casserole has ground beef, broccoli, tomato sauce, and cheddar cheese. It’s great for anyone looking for a comforting and easy-to-make low carb dinner.
This casserole is soft and tender, with a rich and cheesy tomato meat sauce and juicy bites of broccoli. There are occasional crisp bites of diced celery. Seasonings are kept simple — just salt, garlic powder, and a pinch of cayenne.
Its recipe development is inspired by my other baked dishes, like tuna casserole and chicken bacon ranch casserole. This is basically a medley of some of my favorite casserole ingredients.
