This is a very tasty low carb casserole. We love it! I serve this casserole with a small green salad. It is easily tweaked to suit your family's taste. You can add bacon for a bacon cheeseburger taste. Add some BBQ sauce to make a tasty BBQ Burger.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Hearty, cheesy and very flavorful, this is a delicious low carb dinner. Quick and easy to prepare, the topping is kind of magical the way it looks like a bun. This reminds us of a giant loose meat burger once it's baked. Serve with a salad or green vegetable if you're eating low carb. If not, baked potatoes or fries would be great.

How To Make cheryl's low carb green chile burger casserole

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2
Brown ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and Knorr beef bouillon.
3
Drain ground beef. Place meat in a baking dish. Stir in green chilies and 1/2 of the shredded cheese.
4
Top with remaining amount of shredded cheese.
5
Beat eggs, mayonnaise, and heavy cream. Add a dash of each, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
6
Pour cream mixture over the meat mixture. Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The top will brown and look similar to a hamburger bun.
7
Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
8
NOTE: I use my 12 inch cast iron skillet to brown the ground beef, then drain off the fat and put it back into the skillet. So, this is a one-skillet meal for me.
