How do you make sure the zoodles aren’t soggy?

While this recipe is extreamly easy to put together there is one critical step that you can’t skip. You must properly prepare the zoodles so they do not make your casserole soggy.

If you have ever added zucchini to a baked dish you know that it releases a lot of moisture as it cooks. There are many ways to try to combat this such as sprinkling the sliced zucchini with salt and allowing it to sit out and naturally release moisture over time. However, I find that this method takes a lot of time and only removes some moisture, resulting in an ultimately soggy dish.

My much easier method is to pre-bake the zucchini noodles while you prepare the rest of the dish. Allowing the noodles to cook all by themselves releases tons of moisture and ensures your dish is perfectly creamy, not soggy.

How do you make Keto Cheeseburger Zoodle Casserole?

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In an 9×13 baking dish lightly spray the bottom with cooking spray.
Place the zoodles in the dish and spread out as much as possible.
Bake zoodles at 10 minute intervals. Remove and stir every 10 minutes, continue baking at 10 minute intervals until the moisture has evaporated.**Depending on the size and moisture level of the zucchini this may take between 10-20 minutes. Remove when moisture as evaporated and they have shrunk in size, but before they are brown or crispy.**
While zoodles are pre-baking heat a medium size skillet over medium heat and cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Drain off most of the bacon grease from the skillet (reserving about 1 tablespoon) and brown the ground turkey or beef, add the onion. Drain any fat.
Add the tomato paste, mustard, cream cheese, beef broth, almond milk, heavy cream, spices and a portion of the shredded cheddar. Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir until a creamy sauce forms.
In the 9×13 pan you pre-baked your zoodles in layer the zoodles, cheeseburger mixture, half of the cooked bacon and cheese remaining shredded cheese to the top. Bake 25-30 minutes until gold and bubbly.
Top with remaining bacon.
