Take a trip to Big Mac® land, guilt-free and in the comfort of your own home. Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Bake is the perfect taste fix when that cardboard box wonder keeps crossing your mind. Ground beef seasoned and hyped up with crisp bacon, a creamy, cheesy mustard-based sauce, and topped with tart dill gherkin pickles, and then another layer of melted cheddar cheese is exactly what the keto doctor ordered to quench your fast-food craving in a healthier way. Keto Bacon Cheeseburger Bake is so good, even those who will remain unnamed (you know, the drive-thru divas) will get hooked on this bun-less deliciousness! The golden arches just lost a little of their shimmer. Feel good, while eating good!
