Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I’m back on the low carb bandwagon again and one of those burger cravings hit. Of course, my bacon cheeseburger salad is always nice, but I’m getting a little sick of salad, to be honest.

Since this recipe has been such a hit, I created a taco version too! Check out my low carb casseroles!

This low carb casserole is super filling, totally easy, and you’re not going to believe it, but it only has 2 net carbs per serving. Like woah. I served it with some cauliflower rice. My whole meal was only 5 net carbs and I was stuffed! Love dinners like that!

Anyway, this is basically a crustless quiche, except not. I mean, I personally have never seen a quiche packed with so much meat in my life, but the premise is the same.
