Keto Brussels Sprouts Casserole

This Keto Brussels Sprouts Casserole is the ultimate cheesy comfort food. It’s loaded with tender Brussels sprouts, bacon, and loads of gooey cheese to bring a creamy flavor to each bite. Plus, the recipe is entirely low-carb, making it an excellent addition to any keto recipe binder!

Not only is this recipe incredibly filling, but it comes together quickly and easy. And honestly, who doesn’t love a bacon and cheese combo when they’re having a tough week? What makes this recipe even sweeter is the fact that the Brussels sprouts are baked and not boiled. So, they’re way tastier and have a glorious, crispy exterior that you’re going to love.

Although the bacon and cheese are stellar parts of this recipe, don’t underestimate the savory kick from the onion and garlic powder. They truly round out the sinfully creamy cheese sauce and pack a serious punch in the flavor department.

What to Serve with Keto Brussels Sprouts Casserole

Although you can enjoy this Keto Brussels Sprouts Casserole on its own, you might want to make it a side dish.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

• When you’re buying cheddar cheese for this recipe, I recommend buying a block of cheese and then grating it. This is because grated cheese tends to contain starch that makes it harder to melt!
• Make sure you fully coat the Brussels sprouts with bacon. Okay,I get that it’s tricky to coat the Brussels sprouts with bacon, but redistributing the bacon bits will make each portion more even.
• Check that the sprouts are spread evenly on the pan. If you don’t do this, they won’t brown well or some will be undercooked and some will be burned.
• If your cheese sauce is runny, don’t panic. Cheese sauce usually thickens as it bakes, because the sauce gradually absorbs into the sprouts. If it’s super wet, a small amount of cornstarch should thicken it up slightly.

Variations and Substitutions

You can use the air fryer to get crispier bacon. If you’re not using bacon bits, the air fryer is a fabulous way to crisp up your bacon before stirring it into the casserole!

Storage Instructions

This Keto Brussels Sprouts Casserole tastes best straight out of the oven. But you can technically store it covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Just remember to let it cool to room temperature before ceiling the casserole dish with foil and placing it in the fridge.

If you need to reheat it, you can either put it in the microwave or heat up the oven to get the cheese back to its glorious, melty texture.

Can I Freeze?

You can freeze this Keto Brussels Sprouts Casserole for 2-3 months in the freezer.

Simply move it to freezer-safe bags or containers once cooled and defrost in the fridge overnight. If you’re short on time, you can bake the leftovers straight from frozen!
