There are some recipes that just scream comfort food, and this Carnivore-Style Beef & Sausage Queso Bake is definitely one of them!
I recently made a Carnivore Beefy Queso Bake and decided to put my own spin on it. I added pork sausage and shredded queso cheese, and I’m so glad I did! The combination of seasoned ground beef, savory sausage, creamy cheese, and that golden cheesy topping made this casserole absolutely delicious.
It’s hearty, creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor.
Why I Love This Recipe
As someone who focuses on protein-forward, low-carb recipes, I love finding meals that feel indulgent while still fitting into the way I like to eat.
This bake combines ground beef and pork sausage with cream cheese, heavy cream, cheddar cheese, queso cheese, eggs, and sour cream.
And let’s talk about that topping! The casserole bakes until the center is set and the cheese on top is melted with beautiful golden edges.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb pork sausage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 4 oz cream cheese
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded queso cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup sour cream
How to Make It
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F and preparing an 8×8-inch baking dish.
Brown the ground beef and pork sausage together in a large skillet, breaking the meat into crumbles as it cooks. Season with salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Reduce the heat and stir in the cream cheese until melted. Add the heavy cream and simmer briefly until the mixture becomes thick and glossy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, half of the cheddar cheese, and half of the queso cheese. Stir that mixture into the warm beef and sausage mixture.
Transfer everything to your prepared baking dish and top with the remaining cheddar and queso cheese.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the center is set and the cheese is melted with golden edges. Let it rest for about 8 minutes before serving.
My Twist on the Recipe
The original recipe was titled Carnivore Beefy Queso Bake. I made it my own by adding sausage and shredded queso cheese, which gave it even more savory flavor and cheesiness.
And let me tell you… that cheesy top was AMAZING! 🧀
