Made this tonight and it was SO good. I used less tomato paste (I had a 5 oz tube) and seasoned the beef a LOT more with some burger seasoning from my pantry. Major win in my house. It makes 12 portions so we put a few in the freezer as well :slight_smile:

This is one thing I’ve noticed about low carb. I have never been on a diet before where I am actually overwhelmed by the number of delicious looking recipes. First world problem, I know. . . . :yum:

Made that for dinner tonight, was very yummy. I used 2 cups of heavy cream and 6 eggs instead of 1 cup and 8 eggs.

Why did i not think of that. I love burgers but make a large quiche to last the week. It will be burger casserole this week. Thanks for your post. I always look for ideas. I would layer it like lasagna but pre cook beef so it’s not soupy with fat.

Fantastic, thanks!! This should freeze well, due to the high fat content - so I’ll have a ready supply of these in the freezer!!! :slight_smile: I’ll make it this week!

Finally got around to making this. Went with 6 eggs and more HWC, and it came out great. Whole family loved it, though my picky eater was a little grumpy that I added onions.

And we still have more than half the pan left over. Very filling.

One thing I’d change…this time I didn’t drain the meat after browning, and the casserole had a fair amount of oil pooled on top. Didn’t affect the taste, but while I’m an advocate of plenty of healthy fat, it was a bit much even for me. :grin:
