Keto Taco Casserole is a flavorful and easy meal that the whole family will enjoy! Ground beef or turkey seasoned with taco spice mix, then topped with tomatoes, olives, and green onions. Finally, the whole dish is topped with sour cream and cheese.

Keto Taco Casserole

Lately I’ve been in a meal planning rut. During the week, I try to plan ahead at least 2 or three meals in advance so when dinner time comes we’re not scrambling to get a meal on the table

My favorite quick and easy recipes are these skillet pork chops or this jalapeno popper chicken. If you haven’t tried those, get them on your menu asap! They’re always a hit and super delicious when warmed up the next day for lunch.

This Keto Taco Casserole was inspired by my vegetarian enchilada casserole. I guess I wasn’t quite ready to put Mexican food on the back burner.

Although my enchilada dish is low carb with low carb corn tortillas, I was craving the ultimate keto taco casserole dish.

Ingredients you will need:

This dish only requires a handful of ingredients and most you probably have stocked.

Ground beef or ground turkey. Both options are delicious. I happen to have turkey more often that that I get from Costco.

Ground turkey from Costco comes packaged in 1-1/2 pounds, which is the perfect amount for this recipe.

You will also need the following:

• Taco seasoning – make your own. You will need 3-4 tablespoons, so if you buy the packets you’ll need 2.
• Rotel tomatoes – pick mild, medium or hot. I use the original style. You’ll use 1/2 cup of this, so the remaining can you can mix in this cheese nacho sauce.
• Cheese – cream cheese and shredded cheese. I used a Mexican blend, but you can mix in your favorite flavors or just have one flavor like cheddar.
• Sour cream – full fat for the ultimate keto, or if your prefer a lite variety, that is fine too.
• Vegetables – diced fresh tomatoes, sliced olives and green onion.

Kitchen tools:

This is practically a one pot meal!

You will need a large skillet and a baking dish. For this dish I used a 9-inch by 9-inch ceramic baking dish.

How to make keto taco casserole

To make this casserole we start by cooking the ground beef or turkey in a large skillet, then add the taco seasoning.

Next, add the diced Rotel tomatoes and cream cheese. You can really ramp up the flavor to suit your taste buds depending on the tomatoes you use. There are so many options! I used the original version.

Mix until the cheese melts and the tomatoes are well disbursed through the taco meat.

I made this dish for dinner, then we enjoyed it for several days for lunch! Alan scooped up his with some baked tortilla chips.

However, I ate my serving just as you see, and practically licked the plate!

What to serve this with

This low carb taco casserole is filling and you will leave the table satisfied. However, if you are looking for an additional dish to serve this with try adding one of the following:

• Top with pico de gallo (fresh salsa).
