Macronutrient Breakdown
These keto casseroles do what all-in-one dishes do best: get all of the good stuff in there! Most of these recipes are filled with veggies and packed with protein and fat, making them a well-rounded choice for any low carb meal.
Yes, most of them skew keto with higher fat content, so if you’re looking for low carb low fat casseroles, consider skipping (or using less of) the cheese and subbing the heavy cream for lower fat alternatives (unflavored almond milk for example).
Recipe Variations And Notes
Check out each recipe for specific variations and notes (I always include a ton of options for you!). But, as a general rule of thumb…
Here are a few ingredients I use in almost all keto casseroles:
- Crunchy Topping — Most commonly I’ll use pork rinds as they’re extremely low in carbs and add a PERFECT crunch. Now, wait, before you dismiss it, give it a try. It makes a HUGE different in keto casseroles!
- Thickening Agent — Traditional casseroles often call for flour to thicken the casserole’s sauce (otherwise they can turn into a liquidy mess). Instead, I’ll often use xanthan gum! It thickens sauces just like flour, and requires significantly less!
- “Noodles” — Veggies make for GREAT replacements!
- Creaminess — Traditional recipes often use milk, or other high carb dairy products. I rely on heavy cream, full-fat coconut milk, and sometimes (for a lighter version), unsweetened almond milk.
- Veggies — You can often add other low carb veggies to these combo dishes, these are great for sneaking in all sorts of good tasting and good-for-you foods!
- Protein — These low carb casseroles can all be made meatless or with various proteins added in. Feel free to swap out the meat for another type.
How To Eat + Serving Suggestions
Casseroles are amazing because they usually only require one pan, and they’re perfect for meal prepping! Plan ahead with airtight containers so you can separate leftovers out into portions for easy, ready to eat meals!
Store in the fridge or freezer, then thaw and reheat in the oven or toaster oven for a healthy, filling meal on the run! (Microwaves work for reheating as well, although they’ll take away some of the “crunch” factor)

- 1 Lb Chicken Breast cooked + shredded into bite sized pieces
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 Red Bell Pepper chopped
- 1 Red Onion chopped
- 2 Teaspoons Kosher Salt
- 1 Teaspoon Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder

- 2 Teaspoons Dried Oregano
- 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
- 1 Cup Salsa spicy or mild depending on preference
- 1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
- 1 Cup Pepper Jack Cheese shredded
- Fresh Cilantro to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Heat olive oil (2 tablespoons) over medium heat in a large pan (I like to use a 9" oven-safe skillet so I use only one pan for the entire recipe!). Once shimmering, add red bell pepper (1 chopped), red onion (1 chopped), salt (2 teaspoons), and pepper (1 teaspoon). Saute until softened.
- Add the chili powder (1 tablespoon), cumin (1 tablespoon), and dried oregano (2 teaspoons), and toast until fragrant - about 2 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat, and add sour cream (1/2 cup), salsa (1 cup), and 1 Lb cooked/shredded chicken breast (1 Lb). Stir to combine.
- If you aren't using an oven-safe pan, transfer ingredients to an 8x8 casserole dish.
- Pour heavy cream (1/4 cup) evenly over the top and sprinkle with shredded cheese (1 cup).
- Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until casserole is warmed all the way through and the cheese has lightly browned. Top with cilantro and enjoy!
