HAMBURGER MUSHROOM BAKE

HAMBURGER MUSHROOM BAKE – For a quick meal, try this simple recipe. It was a filling supper, despite its simplicity. This is loosely based on the recipe for Mushroom Mozzarella Bake… Before baking, you are welcome to add some Mozzarella cheese.

This hamburger (ground beef) casserole is delicious, hearty, warming, and easy to put together! It is made simply with ground beef, mushrooms, garlic, parsley, sea salt, bacon, cream cheese, cheddar cheese and eggs. The cream cheese/egg combination replace non-keto-friendly canned soup. Eggs hold the casserole together, negating the need for breadcrumbs or a cornstarch-thickened sauce. Casseroles, or ‘hot dish’ as my family from Minnesota calls them, either evoke feelings of love or uneasiness.

If you have feelings of love for casseroles but don’t have feelings of love for canned soups, breadcrumbs, and other highly processed high-carb additions, you’re sure to love this recipe! All the classic casserole flavor (yes, leftovers are better the next day!) without sacrificing your health goals.
