When it comes to bacon cheeseburgers, you are going to be hard pressed to find someone who does not like them. Some of the best meals I have ever enjoyed were in little hole in the wall pubs/bars with delicious, burgers and fries. Sign, such are the days!
Obviously, this isn’t something we can enjoy on an everyday basis because of our health or for those of us on a low carb/keto diet! There are however, recipes like this low carb bacon cheeseburger casserole that satisfy your bacon/burger cravings while allowing you to remain on your keto diet. Or give our cheeseburger soup a try!
This is a simple meal that you can make ahead a leave in the freezer as well or use as meal plan for the week. My whole family loves this dish. Of course I tend to had a few jalapenos on top while my husband adds dill and some other spices. Serve it up with a nice salad and you have the perfect meal anytime. Re-heats well.
