Moderate Carb Salisbury Steak Casserole

This Salisbury steak casserole is a healthy meal that tastes like a guilty pleasure. Loaded with ground beef, mushroom, onions, potatoes, and condiments, this recipe makes for a tasty, satiating, and nourishing main dish. It is a huge crowd-pleaser and makes a perfect addition to your gatherings and home parties. It serves six people, but you can double or triple it to feed more.

Can you replace the potato with another vegetable?

Potato is the perfect vegetable for carb cycling recipes because of its high carb content. You can add as much or as little depending on your daily allowed carbs. If you aren’t interested in carb cycling recipes, you can replace the potatoes with low-carb veggies like cauliflower, celeriac, parsnip, or kohlrabi.

Can you prepare this beef casserole ahead of time?

One of the great things about this recipe is that it can be prepared ahead of time. The night before, follow all the steps to making this casserole but don't bake it. Cover it in plastic wrap and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. When it's dinner time, bake it at 180 C/350 F for 10 minutes longer than the recipe asks. This makes incorporating carb cycling meal recipes much easier.

Is this recipe suitable for meal prep?

Absolutely! Many moderate-carb recipes make for satisfying lunch meals any day of the week. You can prepare a large batch of this Salisbury steak casserole, serve some of it for dinner, and store the rest in individual containers in the fridge. When ready to eat, microwave for a couple of minutes until heated, then add the herbs.
