Low Carb, Keto, Gluten Free, Grain Free, Soy Free, Sugar Free

To be completely honest, I’ve never had Hamburger Helper my entire life.

My mom is one of those moms who cooks everything from scratch. We never had anything out of a box!

Of course, I was jealous of my friends who were eating things like Hamburger Helper or Spaghettio’s, but now, I’m so thankful my mom never bought any of those things! We actually ate REAL food.

Anyway, even though I’ve never eaten Hamburger Helper out of a box, I still wanted to create a healthy, low carb version.

I mean, who wouldn’t like beef, bacon, and cheese together?!

What I love about my version of Hamburger Helper is that it’s full of veggies! Instead of using pasta, I’m using cauliflower!

And when you bake all of the ingredients up together, you get this hot, cheesy, delicious meal.

My Low Carb Hamburger Helper also makes great leftovers. I like to whip up a batch on the weekend and portion the leftovers for my lunches.

I hope you enjoy this low carb version of Hamburger Helper! It’s a favourite in our house
