Enjoy your favorite bacon cheeseburger in a casserole form. It’s low-carb and great for your entire family. It is also freezer-friendly and an excellent meal prep option.
INGREDIENTS :
- 1.5 lbs ground beef
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 6 oz. bacon
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 20 oz. frozen cauliflower rice (see notes above for fresh cauliflower)
- 1 tsp salt
- ⅓ c coconut flour 40g.
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp parsley
- ½ tsp pepper
Sauce:
- 8 oz. cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 ½ c. heavy cream
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tbsp mustard
DIRECTIONS :
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 400 degrees F. On a large baking sheet pan, lay the bacon in an even layer. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes until crisp.
Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Then, add the onion powder, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well. Into a bowl, transfer everything, and keep warm. Set aside.
Step 3: In a microwavable bowl, place the frozen cauliflower rice and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in the coconut flour and salt until well blended. Set aside.
Step 4: Transfer the crisp bacon to a paper towel-lined pan. Chop the bacon into pieces once cooled.
Sauce:
Step 5: To the skillet, add the butter and stir in the coconut flour. Adjust the heat to low and stir until the flour has absorbed the butter. Then, add the heavy cream along with the mustard. Stir well until thickened.
To assemble:
Step 6: On the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, pour half a cup of the sauce. Over the sauce, evenly spread the cauliflower mixture. Top with 4 ounces cheddar. On top of the cheddar, spread the ground beef and add half of the rest of the sauce. Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar on top, pour the rest of the sauce, and top everything with the chopped bacon.
Step 7: Tent the baking dish and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 30 minutes. Remove the cover and resume baking for 5 minutes more. When done, take the dish out of the oven and let it cool for approximately 15 to 20 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
