I’m just going to go ahead and brag. This One Pan Cheeseburger Casserole is every bit as good as this photo looks. And so easy! Who doesn’t love a one dish meal?! I cooked this in one skillet and then transferred it to the oven, leaving only one pot to clean. But if you don’t have a skillet that goes in the oven you can always transfer it to a casserole dish and then move it to the oven. At any rate, this was definitely a kid pleaser and family pleaser…and low carb too!

WHY BISON? Bison is leaner, lower in saturated fat, and has 25% less calories than ground beef. This makes it a great red meat choice if you are trying to cut calories.

MEAL PREP TIP: On your weekly meal prep day, brown the bison and onions, then add the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and mustard. Store in an airtight container until you are ready to bake the casserole. Then all you have to do is transfer to meat mixture to a pan, then add egg whites and cheese.
What should I serve with this dish? This One Pan Cheeseburger Casserole needs no sides and is perfect as a stand alone meal. But greens are always good, so feel free to serve with a side salad of your choice…this will tide you over while the casserole bakes in the oven.
What do I do with leftovers? You can safely store your leftover One Pan Cheeseburger Casserole in the refrigerator for up to five day. But make sure to cook some extra so you have healthy leftovers for lunch!
Is this recipe low carb? YES! One Pan Cheeseburger Casserole only has 3 grams of carbs…well below the recommended 20-50 gram limit for the low carb diet!
Is this recipe Keto Diet friendly? YES, One Pan Cheeseburger Casserole is Keto Diet friendly! However, the Keto diet prohibits condiments so you may want to substitute the ketchup for tomato sauce or use REAL tomatoes!
