2. Pesto Chicken Casserole With Feta Cheese And Olives

Chicken is probably the king of the keto diet, which is why so many of the recipes have it as their main ingredient. Packing tons of protein (26g per 100g for chicken breast) and with zero carbs, it is the perfect ingredient to combine with sources of fat.

In this keto casserole, good fats come from the olives, the coconut oil or butter, the pesto sauce, as well as the whipping cream used to make it. Of course, feta cheese is added to make this dish simply irresistible.

3. Bacon Burger Casserole

A keto bacon burger casserole tastes exactly as a bacon burger would; the only thing missing is the bun. First, you brown the beef and then add the bacon before putting the rest of the ingredients in to release that juicy fat from the meat products.

4. Tex-Mex Casserole

With this casserole, you will definitely not miss the tortillas. You can taste all the flavors of a taco filling and skip those extra (dare we say unnecessary?) carbs.

Replacing the tortilla with rice cauliflower, like in this recipe not only makes this dish keto but also much lower in calories!

This Tex-Mex casserole offers all the deliciousness of taco fillings without the need for traditional tortillas, making it a low-carb and calorie-friendly alternative.

5. Zucchini Pizza Casserole

Zucchini is one of those vegetables that are low in calories but also perfect as a substitute for starch if you are following a keto diet. In the case of a keto pizza, it can be used as a replacement for the pizza dough, and it does so with quite success.

Here is a Zucchini Pizza Casserole With Bacon And Sausage recipe for inspiration.

6. Reuben Casserole

This Reuben casserole is another one of the meal ideas on our list that will make you wonder why you needed the bread all along. Packing only 3g of net carbs per portion, this meal will satisfy your cravings and keep you within your keto limits.

Instead of going for the regular Heinz Ketchup which packs 15g of net carbs in the 3 tbsp needed for this recipe, buy one with low carbs or even make your own with this keto ketchup recipe.

Alternatively, you can use this recipe calling for a Russian dressing or the one with some pastrami sliced added to the “sandwich” ingredients.

7. Vegetarian Breakfast Casserole

Breakfast for vegetarians is made simple. The best thing about this vegetarian breakfast casserole is that it can be sliced and packed if you’re used to having breakfast later in the day, for example, at work.

8. Italian Breakfast Casserole

Cauliflower is a known substitute for flour in the ketogenic diet. It is commonly used as one of the two main components of pizza dough (the other one is cream cheese) or as a bite-sized ingredient in keto casseroles like this Italian Breakfast one.

9. Moussaka Casserole

If moussaka is one of your favorite meals, then skipping it entirely when on a keto diet is simply impossible. Luckily, you can always twist the classic recipe and replace or skip some ingredients and still have moussaka, the keto way!

10. Eyeball Egg Casserole

Are you inviting your keto-dieting friends over for a Halloween lunch or dinner? Then your casserole’s appearance should be just as good as its taste.

12. Sloppy Joes Casserole

On a keto diet, the burger buns are a big no, but that doesn’t mean that you have to say goodbye to Sloppy Joes once and for all. This Cheesy Sloppy Joe casserole is the perfect replacement for the traditional Sloppy Joe burger. You’re welcome!

For a skillet version of the Keto Sloppy Joes, try this recipe or try this keto hot dog bun recipe and add the rest of the ingredients in them.
