Ingredients

Beef Mixture

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika

Toppings

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup pickles, diced
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce (for serving)

Special Sauce

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup (use sugar-free for keto option)
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 1 tsp sweetener (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Cook Ground Beef and Onion: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the diced onion until the beef is fully cooked and the onion is soft. Drain excess fat to keep the casserole from being greasy.
  3. Season the Beef: Stir in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika into the cooked beef mixture ensuring the flavors are evenly distributed.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the seasoned beef mixture into a baking dish and spread evenly. Top the beef with a cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Prepare Special Sauce: While the casserole bakes, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, vinegar, and optional sweetener in a small bowl until smooth.
  7. Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven and top with diced pickles, shredded lettuce, and drizzle the prepared special sauce over the top before serving.

Notes

  • Use sugar-free ketchup to keep the casserole keto-friendly and low in sugar.
  • Add shredded cabbage inside the casserole for additional texture and crunch.
  • For a gluten-free option, ensure ketchup and other condiments are gluten-free certified.
  • This dish pairs well with a fresh green salad to round out the meal.
