Whenever I’m not sure what to make for dinner, I make this tasty casserole. Making it couldn’t be easier! Brown some ground beef, add cream cheese and spices, sprinkle with shredded cheddar and bake.
This casserole is keto and low carb, low calorie too if that’s a concern for you. But most importantly, it’s delicious!
The ingredients you’ll need
You’ll only need a few simple ingredients when making this tasty ground beef casserole (the exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below):
Ground beef: I use extra-lean ground beef in this recipe. Normally I prefer lean, not extra-lean. But here, I drain the fat anyway, plus I add other creamy ingredients.
Salt and pepper: I use fine sea salt. If you use coarse kosher salt, you can increase the amount you use.
Spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Make sure they are fresh! A stale spice can easily ruin a dish.
