Keto Cheeseburger in a Bowl

Looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe that won’t spike your blood sugar?

This keto dinner recipe is inspired by a classic bunless cheeseburger but instead of serving the toppings on a beef burger patty, I cooked all of the ingredients in one skillet, and then baked with shredded cheddar topping. It may not look as pretty as deconstructed cheeseburgers but it surely tastes amazing!

This Keto Cheeseburger in a Bowl is a great option for busy weeknights and your weekly meal prep. If you’re cooking just for yourself, you’ve got your dinner sorted for the next few days, all in just half an hour!

If you’re cooking for the whole family, it’s easy to double the batch, plus any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for several days, or in the freezer for up to three months.
