Keto Broccoli Slaw Casserole – Feels Like a Hash Brown Casserole, Without the Carbs

Alright, so here’s the deal. You want something creamy, cheesy, warm, and maybe a little crunchy, kind of like that classic hash brown casserole everyone makes for holidays, right? But you’re not eating potatoes anymore. Cool. Same.

This Keto Broccoli Slaw Casserole gives you all those cozy vibes without the starch overload. Think of it like hash brown casserole’s low-carb cousin. Still rich and satisfying, but easier on the belly and blood sugar. And you don’t need to spiralize a single thing. Win.

What is Broccoli Slaw Anyway?

Broccoli slaw is just shredded broccoli stems mixed with a few carrots and sometimes red cabbage. It looks like a veggie coleslaw, but crunchier. It’s sold in a bag, usually near the salad mixes. Tastes great cooked or raw, but baked in cheese? Magic.

It’s also the perfect swap for shredded hash browns. Less carbs, more fiber, better flavor when baked. And honestly, your body will thank you for skipping the potatoes.

What This Casserole Tastes Like

Warm and creamy. But also light, not heavy like some casseroles. The broccoli slaw softens just enough while baking, but still keeps a bit of bite so it doesn’t go soggy. The cheese pulls it all together. Then you add crispy bacon on top and boom—it’s a mashup of hash brown casserole meets broccoli bake, without the carb coma.

Who This Is Good For

• You’re low-carb or full keto and bored of eggs
• You’ve got picky eaters who won’t touch plain veggies
• You want something hot and satisfying that feels like comfort food
• You’re meal prepping and tired of chicken breasts

The Ingredients (Nothing Fancy)

• 1 bag (12 oz) broccoli slaw
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• Salt + pepper (as much as you like)
• 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
• Optional: 1/4 cup chopped green onions or a sprinkle of crushed pork rinds on top

That’s it. No almond flour. No xanthan gum. No weird thickeners. Just real food.

How To Make this Broccoli Slaw Casserole

Step 1: Mix the Sauce

Grab a big bowl. Add the mayo, sour cream, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk it until it’s smooth. You want it creamy, not runny.

Step 2: Toss the Veggies

Dump the bag of broccoli slaw into the bowl. Toss until everything’s coated. Add half the shredded cheddar and the parmesan. Stir again. You’ll start seeing that it already looks kind of like the base of a hash brown casserole.

Step 3: Bake

Pour it all into a greased 8×8 or 9×9 casserole dish. Smooth out the top. Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese on top. Bake at 375°F for about 30-35 minutes, until it’s golden and bubbly.

Step 4: Bacon Time

When it comes out of the oven, sprinkle the crumbled bacon right on top. You could do this before baking, but putting it on after keeps it crispy.

Optional: throw on some chopped green onions or crushed pork rinds for a crunchy top layer.

How It Stores

This casserole lasts 4-5 days in the fridge, easy. Reheat in the microwave or throw it back in the oven at 350 for 10-15 mins. It holds up great. In fact, it might taste better the next day—like most casseroles do.

Freezing? Go for it. Let it cool, wrap it tight, and freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge before reheating.

How It Compares to Hash Brown Casserole

Let’s not pretend anything’s going to taste exactly like shredded potatoes loaded with cream of whatever soup and a pound of cheddar.

But this gets close. Here’s how:

Feature	Hash Brown Casserole	Keto Broccoli Slaw Casserole
Base	Potatoes (high carb)	Broccoli slaw (low carb)
Binder	Cream soup	Sour cream + mayo + eggs
Cheese	Cheddar	Cheddar + Parmesan
Toppings	Buttered crackers	Bacon + pork rinds (optional)
Flavor	Savory, heavy	Creamy, cheesy, bright
Carb Count	30g+ per serving	4-6g net carbs

You’re not missing out—you’re upgrading. Plus your blood sugar won’t be doing cartwheels afterward.

Low-Carb Hacks and Add-ins

Want to jazz it up a little? Here’s what else you can throw in without ruining the carb count:

• Cooked shredded chicken (great for leftovers)
• Cooked ground beef or sausage for a breakfast-style bake
• Diced jalapeños if you like a little kick
• A pinch of smoked paprika or chili powder for more depth
• Cream cheese (cut back on sour cream if you use this)

You can also skip the bacon if you want it vegetarian. Add some mushrooms instead—totally works.

When To Make This Keto Broccoli Slaw Casserole

This dish is perfect for:

• Weeknight dinners when you’re done adulting
• Keto potlucks where you want to actually like the food
• Breakfast meal prep (yes, it reheats like a dream)

Make two pans. Freeze one. Future You will send Present You a thank-you card.

What People Usually Ask

Can I use cauliflower rice instead of broccoli slaw. Sure, you can. But it turns out mushy fast. Broccoli slaw holds its shape better. More like shredded hash browns, less like baby food.

Others ask if they can skip the eggs. You can, but it won’t hold together the same way. It becomes more of a bake than a casserole. Still tasty, just different.

Serving Suggestions (Because Yes, It’s a Whole Meal)

This casserole stands alone, but if you want to round it out, serve it with:

• A leafy green salad with olive oil and lemon
• Roasted chicken or air-fried thighs
• A dollop of keto-friendly ranch or hot sauce

It also works at breakfast with some eggs on the side or just eaten cold from the fridge with a fork. No judgment.

Conclusion

This Keto Broccoli Slaw Casserole is what happens when your body wants fewer carbs, but your brain still craves comfort food. It tastes like a lighter, better version of hash brown casserole—without the bloating, the crash, or the guilt.

It’s the kind of dish you make once, and then keep making. Because it’s easy, cheap, and people actually eat it. No pushing it around the plate or pretending it’s good “for a keto recipe.” It just tastes good, period.

Try it. Tweak it. Make it yours. And if someone asks for the recipe, tell them it’s your secret. Then send them here.
