1-Getting started with this Keto Hamburger Broccoli Cheddar casserole is simple and fun. First, prepare your broccoli by cutting it into small florets if necessary, then microwave it for about 5 minutes until it’s tender. Once done, drain it well to get rid of any extra water that could make the dish soggy.

2-Next, cook 1 pound of extra lean ground beef in a skillet over medium heat for around 5 minutes until it’s browned and crumbled. Add the 14-ounce can of tomato sauce, 1 large stalk of finely chopped celery, 1.5 teaspoons of table salt, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper to the beef. Let this mixture simmer for at least 10 minutes to thicken and blend the flavors.

3-After the meat sauce has steamed out any moisture, mix in the cooked broccoli and half of the 1.75 cups of shredded cheddar cheese right in your baking dish. Top it off with the remaining cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of finely grated parmesan cheese. Bake everything uncovered at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes until it’s bubbly and nicely browned, then let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. For a smoother process, use an 8×8-inch glass baking dish no need to grease it and remember that each serving packs about 370 calories with 37 grams of protein and only 5.5 grams of net carbs.
