Tips to make the best keto ground beef casserole

  1. This entire recipe can be made in one skillet. If you have a cast iron skillet you can cook the beef in it, then add rest of the ingredients and continue baking in that same skillet. This will give you a mess-free kitchen and the result will be a tasty one pot keto meal that every one will praise.
  2. You can use can beans for this, but make sure to look for beans packed in water. Make sure to read the label. If you want to go on the safe side, go with frozen green beans that have been thawed overnight. You can also try to find fresh green beans if it is possible.
  3. Instead of cheddar cheese you can use other types of the cheese. Cheese like Mozzarella will give a creaminess to the recipe, while Gouda will give some extra fat. You can choose whatever cheese you like as they’re all keto friendly.
