Cheryl's Low Carb Green Chile Burger Casserole image

Hearty, cheesy and very flavorful, this is a delicious low carb dinner. Quick and easy to prepare, the topping is kind of magical the way it looks like a bun.

Ingredients

MEAT MIXTURE
3 lb lean ground beef
3/4 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tsp Knorr beef bouillon powder**
2 whole roasted, peeled green chilies or 1 small can of mild or medium chopped green chiles
8 oz shredded cheddar or cheddar cheese blends
TOPPING
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 c mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip or salad dressing!)
1/4 c heavy cream
*I do not add salt to the meat mixture because i add the beef bouilion .

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Brown ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and Knorr beef bouillon.
3. Drain ground beef. Place meat in a baking dish. Stir in green chilies and 1/2 of the shredded cheese.
4. Top with remaining amount of shredded cheese.
5. Beat eggs, mayonnaise, and heavy cream. Add a dash of each, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
6. Pour cream mixture over the meat mixture. Place in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The top will brown and look similar to a hamburger bun.
7. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
8. NOTE: I use my 12 inch cast iron skillet to brown the ground beef, then drain off the fat and put it back into the skillet. So, this is a one-skillet meal for me.
