Scrambled Egg Ground Beef Casserole

KETO Scrambled Egg Ground Beef Casserole recipe that’s easy to make! This baked casserole is low carb and you can make ahead overnight if you’d like! It’s packed with vegetables and sprinkled with cheddar cheese!

Do you guys know about Joe’s Special?  It’s a dish that started in San Francisco in the 1920s that consisted of eggs, ground beef, spinach and garlic.   A few places make their own version, including a Brooklyn based restaurant that my husband fell in love with.  I wanted to try a modern spin on it, removing the spinach and replacing it with green beans and peppers. The result is a delicious Scrambled Egg and Ground Beef Casserole!

Keto Casserole Recipe

This casserole is keto friendly and low carb, something I’ve been requested to make more of from my readers since I posted my Cauliflower Casserole recipe!  It’s made with eggs and ground beef to be high in protein, and a homemade cream of mushroom soup that’s made with almond milk.  Did I mention there’s shredded cheese on top to make it extra delicious?  

Alongside the scrambled eggs and ground beef, this casserole includes green beans and chopped peppers.  One cup of green beans has 6g net carbs, so they’re a great vegetable addition to this dish.  

We’re going to make a homemade cream of mushroom soup that’s keto friendly.  This is based on my favorite cream of mushroom soup recipe, but we’re using almond milk instead of regular milk.  Homemade cream of mushroom soup is so easy to make you’ll never buy the canned version again!  

What recipe uses a lot of eggs?

This casserole recipe calls for 6 scrambled eggs.  I picked up these eggs from the farmers market last weekend, aren’t they beautiful?

What recipe can I make with ground beef?

You’re going to cook the ground beef, green beans and green pepper in a pan until the meat is browned.  Then add your eggs into the pan and cook until scrambled and no longer runny.

Pour mixture into a casserole dish and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Into the oven it goes for 20 minutes.  After 20 minutes set your oven to broil and bake for 2-3 more minutes or until the cheese is slightly browned (keep a eye on it!).

And just like that you have a delicious Scrambled Egg and Ground Beef Casserole to serve for your family! If there’s any leftovers they’re delicious for the next day too!

Hope you enjoyed this recipe!
