- Serve it with potato salad, cauliflower rice, garlic bread, or mashed potatoes. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to share them in the comment box below.

Yes it is low carb. Unfortunately the comment about the recipe says mayonnaise is high carb. It is no carb. Makes me wonder about the authors knowledge about foods.
How is your suggested potato salad, mashed potatoes, and garlic bread low carb?! It blows your lie carb casserole tight out the window. It does, however, sound delicious.
The author just made suggestions of accompaniments so if you wish to stay carb free simply just have it as is! No problems! I just cannot abide nit picking! The recipe likes & sounds delicious & I’m most definitely going to try it!
This looks and sounds delicious. I am going to make this to take to several families going through chemo at this time. High in protein needed for growth and repair of tissue. And extra can be frozen for another meal. Thank you for sharing.
Sounds delish! Will definitely be trying this.❤️
It sounds delicious! As we are not doing a low carb diet, I might serve with mashed potatoes and or corn. I appreciate the ideas.
Could this be made in a crockpot? Has anyone made it that way?
I am taking his casserole to pot luck at my church tonight. I haven’t tried it but I am pretty sure it will be a hit.
Should I cook the bacon first. Not clear on this.
Tried it and it was great! I thought the eggs might be too much, but it turned out fine. I made it a second time and substituted 4 ounces of cream cheese for the cream as I was out of cream. I sprinkled some spices in with the meat for a slight kick, and it also turned out great, but the original recipe tasted better I felt. Thanks for the great ideas!
