Beefy Alfredo Casserole (THM-S, Low Carb, opt. Gluten free)
Listen everyone. This Beefy Alfredo Casserole was consumed entirely by my family. I have three little boys and a husband…and the 9×13 disappeared before my eyes!
This is a good hefty hearty casserole that made my boys very happy. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed by this. This would be classified a Heavy S for THM…and it uses a bunch of dairy. All the extras were very indulgent…and comforting. So if you’re craving comfort…this is it!

Ingredients and Directions for Beefy Alfredo Casserole
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef, cooked
Box of pasta cooked according to directions
¼ c. butter, cut into small pieces to place on the bottom of the 9×13 dish.
For the alfredo sauce:
1 lb cottage cheese
4 oz cream cheese
½ c. heavy cream
½ c. almond milk
¼ tsp glucomannan
1 tsp mineral salt
2 tsp dried garlic powder
1 ½ tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp onion powder
5 tbsp parmesan cheese (green can)
Mozzarella and parmesan cheese to add to the top of the casserole.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cook the ground beef and noodles. (Use any preferred noodles…spaghetti squash, zoodles, Dreamfield’s pasta, or sautéed cabbage.)
Place all the sauce ingredients in a food processor. Process until smooth.
Cut up butter and put in dish.
Place noodles and beef in a 9×13 dish, and add the sauce. Mix all around until everything is incorporated together.
Top the mixture with mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of parmesan. (I didn’t include a measurement here…because you can decide how much cheesy topping you would like!)
Place the dish in the oven, and cook for 35-45 minutes…watching the last few minutes to make sure the cheese isn’t getting too brown. I pulled it out of the oven when the middle was bubbly.
