This is one of my favorite dishes to feed my family with. It’s easy and filling – I like to make it over the weekend to have for the week ahead!
My family’s new favorite recipe! I love to make it the night before and pop it in the oven when I get home from work. It is always a favorite.

Keto Hamburger Recipes Tips
- Mix in ground pork. Try mixing your ground beef with ground pork for an even more flavorful keto cheeseburger casserole.
- Double-check your tomato paste. Make sure your tomato paste is sugar-free. You can substitute it with sugar-free ketchup, as well.
- No need to thaw the green beans. If you’re using frozen green beans, you don’t need to thaw them. They will cook completely as the casserole bakes.
Hamburger Casserole Variations
For this easy keto hamburger recipe, I like to use green beans! They’re low in carbs and so tasty. Frozen or canned green beans work perfectly.
- Cauliflower
- Broccoli
- Peas
- Carrots
- Broccoli is one of my favorites to use in cheeseburger casserole. It’s just so delicious with the cheddar cheese!
Keto Hamburger Casserole FAQs
Can cheeseburger casserole be made ahead of time?
This is a perfect make-ahead dinner idea. Prepare everything in the baking dish, wrap it in foil, and then save it to bake later.
Can you freeze cheeseburger casserole?
Yes! Prepare the dish as instructed and layer it in the baking dish. You can either bake and then freeze your burger casserole, or freeze it before baking.
If freezing before baking, add an additional 15 to 20 minutes to the baking time when ready to bake.
If freezing after baking, thaw it in the fridge overnight, then heat it back up in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.

When using an 8 X 8 pan (Cheeseburger Casserole), does that yield 8 portions, or when you use a 13 X 9? I think cutting an 8 X 8 into 8 portions seems like kind of small servings? Also, you forgot to list the Dijon in the ingredients list.

Hi Diane! Thank you for your comment (and for pointing out the missing ingredient in the list). An 8 x 8 pan will yield 9 portions, while the 13 x 9 will yield 12.

Can I use red onions or tomatoes instead of beans?Reply
Isabel Laessig says
Hi Christopher! You could definitely use either or both if you’d prefer to instead of beans. It may change the texture to add tomatoes, but it should be delicious. Enjoy!
