Instructions

Begin by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat.
1 pound ground beef
Once the meat is cooked through, add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, beef broth, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon Tomato paste, 1 teaspoon Mustard, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 cup beef broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Turn off the heat and add the green beans to the pan with the meat.
3 cups green beans
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs.
2 large eggs
Add the ricotta cheese to the eggs and whisk them together. Start slow, it might splash!
1 cup ricotta cheese
Add the ricotta mixture to the beef and green beans, and mix them until well combined.
Transfer the casserole mixture to a 9x13" casserole dish.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
3/4 cup cheddar cheese
Bake at 355°F/180°C for 25 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
Allow it to rest for 10 minutes and then dig in!

Notes

1. Don't skip the resting time: It might be tempting to cut into it right away, but giving it a few minutes helps everything set and makes serving easier.
2. Customize the spice level: If you like things with a bit more kick, don't hesitate to add some red pepper flakes, diced jalapeños, or hot sauce into this keto casserole recipe.
3. Check for seasoning: After adding the beef broth and before combining everything, give it a taste and adjust the salt and pepper if needed.
4. Low-carb topping options: If you're missing the fried onions on top of traditional casseroles, try a sprinkle of almond flour mixed with grated parmesan cheese and a little bit of olive oil for the last 5 minutes of baking for a crispy finish.
5. Make it ahead: You can assemble this casserole a day ahead and keep it in the fridge. Just add a few minutes to the baking time since you'll be starting from cold.

Storage & Reheating Instructions

- Cool & Airtight: Make sure the casserole is at room temperature and store it in an airtight container.

- Fridge or freeze: In the fridge, your casserole will stay good for 3-4 days. If you're thinking longer term, you can freeze it for up to 2 months. Just make sure it's wrapped well or in a freezer-safe container.

- Reheating: When you're ready to enjoy it again, you can reheat slices in the microwave, or for a crispier top, pop it back into the oven at 350°F until it's heated through.

- Freeze before baking: You can assemble the casserole, cover it tightly, and freeze before baking. When you're ready to cook it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight, then bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if needed.
