Note

When I first whipped up this Keto Cheeseburger Casserole, I wasn’t sure how my family would react. My husband, a cheeseburger purist, gave me a skeptical look, and my kids were already asking, “Where’s the bun?” But one bite in, and it was pure silence—except for the sounds of forks scraping plates! My husband called it “better than a drive-thru burger,” and the kids loved the gooey cheese and crispy bacon (they even went back for seconds!). Now it’s a family favorite, and I love how it keeps us all full and happy without the carbs. Total win!
