Ever find yourself looking for easy keto dinner recipes? Me too. Sometimes it’s tough out there, but this keto meatball casserole is so easy to prep ahead of time and pop in the oven – you’ll find yourself with plenty of spare* time as it cooks.

*Doesn’t reflect work or parental obligations

For this recipe, I liked to use some of the typical casserole ingredients like onions and mushrooms… BUT this time I also added a few bean sprouts because they are super low carb!

Now of course you don’t have to dress the casserole the same way I do.. You can add anything or take out anything you want!

For the tomato sauce, I used a local grocery store that has no sugar added organic tomato sauce. I recommend Muir Glen if you can get it! I believe you can order it from Amazon so the link will be in the recipe card below!
