Kids and adults alike enjoy cheeseburger helper because it’s a very quick, easy cheesy, and gooey meal. Perfect for busy, on-the-go parents.
Is this good for meal prepping?
One of my favorite things about making casseroles is that they are a great make-ahead meal. You can make this recipe ahead of time, and store it in your freezer.
Simply take it out of the freezer a day ahead for meal prep. Once thawed, this keto casserole may be stored in the fridge for 3 – 4 days.
This skillet is so delicious, in a delightfully non-gourmet sort of way. Grownups and kids alike always enjoy it.
