Cheesy Cabbage Beef Keto Casserole Recipe

Beef

(10 Ounce) Cabbage

Onion

(1 Cup) Mushrooms

(1/2 Cup) Tomato Sauce

(2 Cups) Mozzarella Cheese

- 2 Tablespoons Sweet Paprika Spice

Black Pepper

Salt

Dry Ginger Powder

Turmeric Powder

Garlic Powder

Prepare Ingredients

Prepare all of the ingredients. Cut meat into small pieces, which will help you to cook the beef fully tender. Slice the cabbage into the thinnest possible slices. Mushrooms should also be cut into small, tiny pieces so they are easily spread over the dish. Add spices all into a bowl for easier cooking. And remember to grain the mozzarella or your favorite cheese with a grater. 

Brown Onions

Heat the skillet and add oil. Once the oil is hot, add onions and let them caramelize.

Add Beef

Once the onions are cooked, add pieces of meat and cook for approximately 10 minutes until all of the sides of the pieces are cooked. 

Add Mushrooms

Once the meat is brown from all sides, add mushrooms cut into small pieces and cook for another 5-10 minutes. 

Spices

When it is time to add spices, switch off the cooking process for this step. Some spices, especially sweet paprika, tend to burn very fast, and when added to cooking meat, they can change the taste. They become bitter. Once you add all the spices, mix them thoroughly into the meat and mushrooms.

Tomato Sauce and Mix

At the same time, add the tomato sauce and mix thoroughly. There is no need to add any of the liquid, be it water of broth, since cooking this casserole dish for longer, meat and cabbage will add more moisture, which will be enough for the dish. 

Add Cabbage and Cook

Now is the time to switch the heat on again. When the meat, spices, and sauce are thoroughly mixed, add top sliced cabbage, cover with the lid, set the cooking to medium-low and let it cook for approximately one hour. Depending on your beef size, you can adjust the cooking time accordingly. 

Fully Mix

After approximately an hour, mix the cabbage with meat and check if the meat is tender enough. If you are more of a visual person, check out our video with complete steps. 

Cheese and Bake

Once all the cabbage is fully mixed with beef, top it up with grated mozzarella and place it into the oven for 10 – 15 minutes. Here, you only need the mozzarella to melt and brown a bit. Watch out; baking cheese can turn beautifully melted to burned in minutes.

Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole Recipe

750 g ground/minced beef

+/- salt and pepper (to taste)

ml heavy whipping cream

dill gherkin pickles (sliced)

Fry the bacon pieces until cooked then remove and set aside. 

Ground Beef Layer

Family favorite! Quick and easy when you feel like a burger without the hassle (or buns).

Which ratio of macros you choose depends on which diet you follow. If you are on a low-carb diet or keto diet, then fats are usually quite high, but not to excess, this is one of the biggest mistakes I see in Ditch The Carbs PRO members when we do our tracking challenges. However, if you are on a low-fat diet, then you may want to buy lean beef and a little less cheese. You can use my keto calculator. But remember, fat is a LIMIT, not a GOAL.

I thought the fats were to be kept very low this seems high.

It depends on how deep you like your cheeseburger casserole. I tend to use a medium-sized casserole dish so I can layer it up and still have plenty of room for a thick cheesy baked crust.

Are you crazy? Remove bacon? Only kidding, you can omit the bacon entirely or add something that you can tolerate or prefer such as turkey bacon or another cheeseburger staple.

Hi just have a question before I make this. What can I sub the bacon with?

Thanks in advance
Best Regards

We love this quick and simple to make but sooo tasty. Tastes even better the next day. A real favourite

This was great, I did change one or two things but mostly kept it as is, I used vegan cheese as I can't eat regular cheese, and I used minced/ground chicken as I can't eat beef too often, other than that I kept it as it, and I drained the chicken as well as I didn't want any grease happening.
I am the only person here so I froze the rest for meals during the week, when I want it I take out a portion zap it in the microwave for about 4 minutes or so and wala dinner :-)
Thank you for a great recipe

Made this last night and served with salad and mayo, and my non-keto burger-loving husband and teenage son LOVED it and didn't even notice that they'd eaten an entirely keto meal!  They even asked me to make it again!  Win! :-)

I absolutely love this recipe, made it many times over, sometimes with tomato purée, today I’ve used Italian herb seasoning. I make enough for a few meals, and have it cold with salad or with the garlic bread....I use 5%fat beef, and usually fry the bacon with it..xxx

Thank you. My dad loved this. We are totally going to do this again. But I did make a few changes. Instead, we use two cups of ground beef, Natures Seasoning instead of salt and pepper, and only half an onion. We don't like mustard or pickles so we didn't use those. But thank you very much for this recipe. He really liked it. Thanks again! ; - )

I follow this recipe exact and it is always amazing! This is one of my go to recipes! I have to make it at least two to three times a month. I made it for my in laws and they loved it as well! Thank you so much!

I made this tonight and it was really good. Thanks!!!

I make this all of the time for my family. I add fresh tomatoes into the cheese sauce and fresh  jalapeños in with the onions. Perfect every time!

Wow John, learn how to use a computer.  Click, drag, copy, print. How hard is that? They did a great job on the recipe with US or metric measurements, and adjustable servings! Just go away.

Hey there John, I wonder if your printer settings have anything that is messing up the print function? Here is the direct link to print the recipe. However, the button from the top of any recipe page (Jump To Recipe, Print recipe) or inside the recipe card itself should take you to the printing page too. I hope this works for you.
