Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 can 14 oz diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
  • 1 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (check for low-carb options)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream

Optional Toppings

  • Sliced olives
  • Jalapeños
  • Avocado

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat to keep the dish keto-friendly and transfer the beef to the crockpot.
  2. Add vegetables and seasoning: To the crockpot, add the diced tomatoes, diced bell peppers, diced onion, and taco seasoning. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Layer sour cream and cheese: Spread the sour cream evenly over the meat and vegetable mixture, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top to create a cheesy layer.
  4. Slow cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the vegetables are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Serve and garnish: Serve the casserole hot and garnish with your choice of sliced olives, jalapeños, or avocado for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute sour cream and cheese with plant-based alternatives.
  • Use low-sodium taco seasoning to control salt content.
  • Adjust cooking time if using a different slow cooker size or if layering ingredients differently.
  • Drain excess fat thoroughly to keep the casserole keto-friendly and prevent greasiness.
  • Add extra avocado on top for healthy fats boosting the keto profile.
