• Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 350℉.
• Prepare the cooking skillet. Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat.
• Cook the garlic. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Once the garlic has softened, you can add the beef. Cook until the beef is no longer pink.
• Add the remaining ingredients. Add the cream cheese, sugar-free ketchup, yellow mustard, and Worcestershire sauce and stir to combine.
• Transfer. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.
• Prepare the egg mixture. Use a bowl to combine the eggs, heavy cream, and hot sauce. Pour the egg mixture over top of the beef.
• Sprinkle. Sprinkle it with shredded cheddar cheese. Use an extra serving of cheese if you love cheese!
• Bake. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

2 Reasons Why This Keto Casserole is Actually Good for You

This probably won’t surprise any of our readers but this keto Big Mac casserole is far healthier for you than the original fast food restaurant version. Here are 2 impressive reasons why:

• No trans fat. The most obvious reason why this recipe is better than the original version is the fact that it’s free of harmful dietary trans fat, which has been linked with inflammation and disease… Instead, you’ll be using olive oil, a staple of the Mediterranean diet, which is widely known for its cardioprotective benefits.

• Real, whole food ingredients. Carrying on from the above point, this recipe uses nothing but real, whole food ingredients so you know exactly what’s going into your meals. Using keto approved ingredients also means that this casserole is chock full of protein, quality fats, and essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants as well.

How to Store Your Keto Big Mac Casserole Leftovers for Later

The very best way to store this keto casserole is to keep it sealed up tightly inside of an airtight container in the fridge. You’ll be able to keep your casserole stored in the fridge like this for up to 6 days.

I wouldn’t recommend freezing it due to the mixture of ingredients used like mayonnaise, cheese, and others that can cause a loss of texture when reheating the casserole. With that being said, if you still want to freeze it, it can keep for up to 2-3 months in the freezer as long as you follow the same storage guidelines mentioned above.

Best Way to Reheat Keto Big Mac Casserole

I usually prefer to reheat all of my keto casserole dishes in the oven at 350℉ for 35-45 minutes or so. You can also opt to microwave individual serving sizes for about 3 minutes.
