Ingredients

Cheeseburger Casserole
3 lbs ground beef (80/20)
1 lb thick-cut bacon, chopped into ½-inch pieces
1 medium yellow onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp yellow mustard
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp onion powder
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
8 oz cream cheese, softened
3 cups shredded sharp cheddar
Roasted Broccoli Base
2 lbs broccoli florets (about 2 large heads)
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
Special Sauce
½ cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp sugar-free ketchup
1 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tbsp dill pickle relish
½ tsp onion powder
Fresh Toppings (Add at Serving)
½ cup dill pickle chips, chopped
2 Roma tomatoes, diced small
1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
2

Instructions

1

Preheat Oven

Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Roast the Broccoli

Spread the broccoli florets on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and a pinch of pepper, and toss to coat. Roast until edges are charred and florets are tender.

⏱ 20 minutes
3

Cook the Bacon

While broccoli roasts, cook the chopped bacon in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat until crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet and drain the rest.

⏱ 8 minutes
4

Cook Onion & Beef

In the same skillet with the reserved bacon fat, add the diced onion and cook until softened. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking into crumbles, until well browned. Drain any excess fat.

⏱ 10 minutes
5

Season & Add Cheese

Reduce heat to low. Add yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the beef. Stir to combine. Add the cream cheese and stir until fully melted and creamy. Fold in half the crispy bacon and 2 cups of the shredded cheddar. Stir until cheese is melted and everything is combined.

⏱ 3 minutes
6

Assemble the Casserole

Spread the roasted broccoli evenly in the bottom of a greased 9x13 baking dish. Pour the cheeseburger mixture over the broccoli and spread evenly. Top with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar and the rest of the crispy bacon.

7

Bake Until Golden

Bake uncovered until the cheese on top is bubbling and golden brown.

⏱ 15 minutes
8

Make the Special Sauce

While the casserole bakes, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar-free ketchup, yellow mustard, dill pickle relish, and onion powder in a small bowl. Refrigerate until serving.

9

Rest, Top, Portion & Store

Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes. Portion into 8 equal servings. Top each with a drizzle of special sauce, chopped pickles, diced tomato, and shredded lettuce. For meal prep, store casserole portions in 28 oz containers. Pack special sauce in small 2 oz condiment cups. Add pickles, tomato, and lettuce fresh at serving time. Cool completely before freezing.

Prep Notes & Tips

  • Container: Use 28 oz (3.5-cup) rectangular containers. The casserole is dense and scoopable — rectangular containers give a clean cross-section of the broccoli base and cheeseburger layer. Store special sauce in a small 2 oz condiment cup alongside.
  • Freeze casserole: Individual portions freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat from frozen in the microwave (5–6 min, stirring halfway) or in a 375°F oven covered with foil for 20–25 min, then uncover for the last 5 min to re-melt the cheese.
  • Freeze special sauce: Freeze in small condiment containers or an ice cube tray. Thaw overnight in the fridge. It holds up well.
  • Don't freeze toppings: Pickles, diced tomato, and lettuce should be added fresh at serving time. They're what make reheated portions taste like a fresh burger.
  • Bacon tip: Cook the bacon first and use 2 tablespoons of the rendered fat to cook the onion and beef. More flavor, no waste.
  • Volume boost: Double the broccoli to 4 lbs for an even bigger base with minimal calorie impact — roast on two sheet pans.
