This low-carb, keto-friendly casserole delivers all the classic jalapeño popper flavors—rich,  creamy, cheesy, and spicy—paired with savory ground beef for a hearty, satisfying dish.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Cook the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat.

Step 3: Prepare the  Creamy Base
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt and pepper until smooth.

Step 4: Add Jalapeños and Cheese
Stir in the diced jalapeños along with ½ cup cheddar cheese and ½ cup mozzarella cheese.

Step 5: Combine and Assemble
Add the cooked beef to the creamy mixture and stir until evenly combined. Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 6: Top and Bake
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses evenly over the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Allow the casserole to rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions and enjoy.
