Craving tacos on a busy night? This easy Keto Taco Casserole packs all that spicy, cheesy flavor into one simple dish. It’s pure low-carb comfort food, ready in under 30 minutes!

Ingredients

Scale

For the Taco Meat:

  • 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 blend is great for flavor)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, any color, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp keto-friendly taco seasoning
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

For the Cheesy Topping:

  • 2 medium eggs
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend works best)
  • 1 jalapeno, sliced (optional, for a little kick)

Instructions

  1. Prep Oven & Pan: First, get your oven preheating to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Brown the Beef & Veggies: In a large skillet over high heat, cook the ground beef, onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Break up the meat as it cooks until it’s browned and the veggies are soft. Drain off any extra grease.
  3. Add the Flavor: Stir the taco seasoning and tomato paste into the meat mixture. Keep stirring until everything is coated and smells amazing.
  4. Assemble the Base: Spread the seasoned meat mixture evenly into a 9×13 inch casserole or baking dish.
  5. Mix the Cheesy Binder: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and heavy cream together. Then, stir in half of the shredded cheese (about ¾ cup).
  6. Combine & Top: Pour the creamy egg mixture all over the meat in the dish. Sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese and the sliced jalapenos on top.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 15-17 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the cheese is melted, bubbly, and just starting to turn golden. Let it rest for 5 minutes before you dig in—this helps it set up perfectly!

Notes

  • Serving Ideas: This casserole is fantastic with a big dollop of sour cream, fresh salsa or pico de gallo, and some sliced avocado. It’s a complete meal!
  • Tip for Melty Cheese: For the absolute best, gooiest cheese, grate your own from a block. The pre-shredded bags have starches that can make the cheese less creamy.
  • Storage & Reheating: Got leftovers? Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. For the best texture, reheat individual slices in the oven or a toaster oven at 350°F until warmed through.
