Keto Creamy Jalapeno Beef Casserole

This recipe was inspired by something I came across in Keto Connect’s cookbook. They created a Jalapeno Chicken Popper Casserole, but I wanted to do it with beef in order to keep up with my macros for the keto protocol I’m following and to change the flavor up a bit.

I made this recipe for meal prep, but it also makes a great quick meal.
