Keto Casserole Idea

Casseroles are fantastic family meals. They are relatively inexpensive and feed everyone. Plus, this casserole has meat, cheese, and veggies – it’s an entire meal in one dish.

You might be surprised that there are only 5 grams net carbs in each serving! There are ways to decrease these net carbs too, if you want. Every bite is full of protein, healthy fats, fiber, and nutrients.

This is a wonderful way to use tomatoes and peppers from your garden.

Italian Sub Casserole

The topping on this casserole is the best part. I used my tried and true fathead dough recipe, combining mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, almond flour, egg, and baking powder. It’s the same dough recipe I used to make my popular keto garlic knots.

Season this dough with Italian spices. I used jarred Italian seasoning and garlic powder. For a sweeter flavor, add some fresh basil.

The bread-like topping really makes this tastes just like an Italian sub sandwich. It’s incredible!

Italian Casserole

This Italian casserole is basically an entire meal in one dish. If you want to add a few things on the side, consider adding your favorite chopped salad. This Olive Garden salad has many similar flavors.

If you really love peppers, add some stuffed peppers on the side. Or make some fluffy cauliflower mash to your plate. It’s a crowd pleaser with almost any meal you make.

Low-Carb Italian Casserole

There are a lot of different variations you can make this to recipe too! Be creative and use your favorite ingredients. If you make any changes to this recipe, please let me know in the comments.

Instead of provolone cheese, use swiss cheese for a tangy twist. If you want to add some heat, chop up some jalapeno peppers and add them to the casserole. You can also add white or yellow onions instead of red onions.

How To Store Casseroles

The best way to store casseroles is in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This casserole will stay fresh for up to three days. I suggest eating it before three days so the bread-like topping doesn’t soften too much.

Reheat this casserole in the air fryer or oven to keep it nice and crispy.
