The recipe round-up for low-carb, keto-friendly Casseroles

As the temperature drops, a good casserole just hits the spot for dinner. Casseroles are creamy, flavorful and perfect for a crowd. 

I wanted to bring together an amazing selection of recipes for all of you. In order to do this, I put together recipes for casseroles with variety of flavors and proteins. There are even a few that are vegetarian. 

The problem is deciding which one to make first!

What is a casserole?

Casseroles are recipes that are baked slowly in the oven, often uncovered. Frequently, they have a starchy base such as potatoes, pasta, or rice. Vegetables and sometimes a protein such as fish, chicken, beef or beans are usually included. A sauce is used to tie it all together.

Sometimes, a crunchy or cheesy topping adds some tantalizing goodness on the top.

Can you eat casseroles on a low-carb or keto diet?

Traditional casseroles are laden with a high carbohydrate base such as potatoes, pasta, or rice. Instead of these high carb options, the recipes in this post use lower carb alternatives. For example cauliflower, celeriac, and zucchini squash make up the base of many of these casseroles. 

Carbs can also hide out in toppings like bread crumbs. Instead of using high carb toppings, these recipes in this post use low-carb choices such as cheese, or even pork rinds to add textural variety.

Another hiding place for carbs is in the sauce. High carb starches thicken the sauce in many casserole recipe. Instead of using high carb thickeners, these keto-friendly casseroles use low-carb alternatives. They contain sauces that are thickened with low-carb options such as glucomannan, cream cheese or xanthan gum, rather than starchy thickeners. 

So, while traditional casseroles may be off limits, these low-carb casseroles can make wonderful main dishes and side dishes for those who live a keto life style.
