A creamy and satisfying Keto Beef and Mushroom Casserole combining ground beef, mushrooms, and cheddar cheese baked to perfection for a low-carb, high-flavor meal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Sauté Aromatics. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Cook Beef. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish from being greasy.
  4. Add Mushrooms and Liquids. Stir in the sliced mushrooms, beef broth, heavy cream, thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms are tender and the mixture thickens slightly.
  5. Assemble Casserole. Transfer the beef and mushroom mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  6. Bake. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat heavy cream for the best creamy texture suitable for keto diets.
  • If you prefer a lower-fat option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream, but this will alter the flavor slightly.
  • Drain excess beef fat to avoid a greasy casserole and keep the fat content balanced.
  • Fresh thyme brings the best flavor, but dried thyme works fine in a pinch.
  • For extra richness, add a tablespoon of butter when sautéing the onions and garlic.
  • Serve this casserole with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete keto-friendly meal.
