Recipe Story
I love casseroles because they are so convenient and versatile. You can make them ahead of time, freeze them, reheat them, and enjoy them for days. They are also a great way to use up leftover ingredients or whatever you have on hand.
One of my favorite casseroles is this cheesy ground beef casserole.
I came up with this recipe when I had some ground beef, broccoli, and keto cajun alfredo sauce in my fridge. I decided to combine them and bake them with some cheese on top.
The result was amazing. It was so creamy, cheesy, and flavorful. My whole family loved it and asked for seconds.
The keto cajun alfredo sauce is my own recipe that I make often. It’s a simple and delicious sauce that goes well with any meat or vegetable. It has a nice kick to it, but you can adjust the spiciness to your liking.
This keto ground beef casserole recipe with broccoli and alfredo sauce is one of my go-to keto recipes. It’s easy, tasty, and satisfying. I hope you give it a try and let me know what you think.
Ingredients
- 8.8 oz extra lean ground beef
- 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup onion or green onions
- 1 cup (8 fl oz) keto cajun alfredo sauce (my own recipe here)
- 1 cup (4 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter for greasing the pan
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter.
Cut the onion and broccoli into small pieces.
Boil or steam the broccoli for 5 minutes, until tender but not mushy. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the onion in butter until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula. Cooked it through until browned, about 10 minutes in total. Drain the excess fat if needed.
In a small bowl, whisk together the keto Cajun alfredo sauce ingredients until smooth and creamy. Recipe for Keto Cajun Alfredo Sauce with cream cheese and heavy cream here!
In the prepared baking dish, layer the ground beef mixture, then the broccoli, then the keto Cajun alfredo sauce. Finish it with the cheddar cheese. Spread everything evenly and make sure the sauce covers the entire casserole.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Depending on your oven, the baking time might be different.
