Tip!
Want onions with that? Perhaps a thin slice, raw, served as a garnish? An 1/8" thick slice of a medium onion adds about 1g net carbs.

That would be a fun experiment. My concern is that it may turn out too soupy, but I have not tried it in the slow cooker.
I think next time, I'll try draining the excess fat (reserve for a "gravy" to pour over it) and use American cheese instead of cheddar. I'm not a big cheddar fan unless its over taco salad. Traditionally cheeseburgers have American cheese on them not cheddar. But I liked the recipe, I liked the chopped pickles in it. Its very satisfying, and filling.
I did cook it ahead, and refrigerate it before putting in the oven, it was wonderful! I will be making this again, and am sure that the other half will be enjoying it as well - he has loved nearly all of the DD recipes I have 'tried out' on him!
Standard food safety guidelines apply to all of our recipes. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge 3-4 days before the risk of food poisoning begins to rise.
You can add it back in with the ground beef in Step 5.
Next time I will let it sit a few minutes after taking it out of the oven, to let it set a bit. It was very soupy but improved the longer it sat. Will definitely make this again!
Some people are able to use coconut cream in place of heavy cream in most recipes!
Depending on the fat content of your ground beef, you may want to drain it off before adding it to the casserole mix.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Subbed mustard for the pickles because I am the only member of my family that can stand pickles.
Very tasty.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Rutabaga would add a significant amount of carbs. Here is a Keto Shepard's Pie if you'd like to try it. https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/keto-shepherds-pie
