Hip Tips for this cheesy keto ground beef casserole with broccoli:
- Fill free to switch out the broccoli with your favorite veggies. This casserole is a staple in my household and I love switching it up based on what I have on hand. You could even add some jalepeños for spice!
- Chopping vegetables is a breeze with the Pro Chopper—it’s such a time saver for this hamburger meat casserole!
- Make this hamburger meat casserole ahead of time by using a non-stick skillet to sauté the beef and assemble the ingredients in a 9×13 foil pan. Cover and pop it in the freezer until you’re ready to bake.
- Want to make it even heartier? While the casserole is wonderful on its own, you can serve it over mashed cauliflower for a filling meal or as a way to re-purpose leftovers!
Whether it’s a weeknight family meal or entertaining a large group of guests, this veggie hamburger meat casserole will be a huge hit with even the pickiest of eaters!
My Hip sidekick Erica loves this keto ground beef casserole recipe, too! Here’s what she had to say:
“This recipe was so simple and my whole family loved it! My kids did not originally want to eat it, but kept digging right in after they gave it a good ol’ taste! I couldn’t even tell I used frozen broccoli (it totally tasted fresh in the casserole). Such a great weeknight dinner. Next time, I plan on prepping this ahead over the weekend to just pop in the oven for busy weeknights!”
