🥩🧀 Carnivore Cheeseburger Casserole

Yield: 4–6 servings
Prep: 10 minutes
Bake: 30–35 minutes
Diet: Carnivore • Keto • Low-carb


🧾 Ingredients

  • 1½ lb ground beef (80/20 preferred)

  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)

  • ½ tsp black pepper (optional; omit for strict carnivore)

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or Colby-Jack

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup heavy cream (or more cheese if you prefer)

  • 2 tbsp butter or beef tallow (for greasing)

Optional Add-Ins (Still Carnivore)

  • 4–6 slices cooked bacon, chopped

  • ¼ cup grated parmesan (extra savory punch)


🔥 Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the Beef

  • Preheat oven to 375°F / 190°C

  • Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat

  • Season with salt (and pepper if using)

  • Drain excess grease only if excessive


2️⃣ Mix the Custard

  • In a bowl, whisk:

    • Eggs

    • Heavy cream

    • ½ cup of the cheese

This keeps the casserole creamy, not dry.


3️⃣ Assemble

  • Grease a 9×9 baking dish

  • Spread beef evenly in the dish

  • Pour egg mixture over beef

  • Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly on top

  • Add bacon or parmesan if using


4️⃣ Bake

  • Bake uncovered 30–35 minutes

  • Top should be bubbly and lightly browned

  • Rest 5–10 minutes before slicing


😋 What It’s Like

  • Cheeseburger flavor without the bun

  • Creamy inside, crispy cheese edges

  • Holds together beautifully for leftovers
