Cheeseburgers are awesome and casseroles are amazeballs as well. Both together make for a worthy dinner course. Space has been on a modified Atkins lifestyle for almost a year with stunning success. There are plenty of cheeseburger casserole recipes out there. Most of them call for a crust of some sort. Crust means carbs and that means that Space would have to pick or not eat it. Not cool in my book. So I was thinking what I could do. So I came up with this basic recipe for a crustless cheeseburger casserole.
Origin: Duff''s messed up but beautiful head
Ingredients:
- 1-2 lbs of ground meat (Turkey or 90/10 beef)
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cup pancake mix (sugar-free from Maple Farms works real well but Bisquick is okay)
- parsley
- minced garlic
- dried celery
- salt
- 2 cups shredded cheese of choice
Directions:
- In a frying pan cook meat. Add spices.
- Once fried collect grease in middle or side of pan and add pancake mix.
- Add egg and mix into a roux.
- Mix roux and meat together and fry for 1-2 minutes.
- Turn off heat and add cheese to top and cover.
- After 5-10 minutes the casserole is complete.
This worked out real well. You could make pie slices of the casserole and it held together. For my first roux it was a definite success. This recipe is basic but it could have additions like onions, peppers, bacon etc. Play with it to get your favorite cheeseburger. This is so book worthy. Space loved it and it will more than likely become a regular fixture on the weekly menu.
