6 Low Carb Casseroles for Holiday Gatherings
Six low carb casseroles for holiday gatherings, from a Big Mac casserole to creamy garlic mushroom chicken, each with 17g+ protein and 8g net carbs or less per serving.
Low carb casseroles are the easiest way to feed a crowd over the holidays. You mix everything in one dish, slide it into the oven and get back to the rest of the dinner. This list has six: a Big Mac casserole, a skillet fajita bake, two creamy chicken casseroles, a plain ground turkey and veggie bake and a cabbage casserole with tomatoes. Every recipe has 17 grams of protein or more and 8 grams of net carbs or less per serving. None of them use flour, rice, pasta or potatoes, so they work for a potluck table, Christmas Eve or a busy winter night.
The numbers under each recipe come from its recipe card, worked out per serving from USDA nutrition data. Net carbs are total carbs minus fiber. Serving sizes follow each card, so check the yield before you double a dish for a bigger group.
