Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Protein

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 pound cooked bacon, chopped
  • 8 large eggs

Seasonings

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Dairy

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 (12 oz) package shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the casserole.
  2. Cook the beef mixture: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef along with minced garlic and onion powder until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease, then transfer the cooked beef mixture to a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
  3. Add the bacon: Stir in the chopped cooked bacon evenly into the beef mixture in the casserole dish.
  4. Prepare the custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, salt, pepper, and 3/4 of the shredded cheddar cheese until fully combined.
  5. Assemble the casserole: Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the meat and bacon in the casserole dish, spreading it evenly. Then, top the casserole with the remaining 1/4 of the shredded cheese.
  6. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Rest and serve: Allow the casserole to rest for 5 to 10 minutes to set before slicing and serving warm for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute other cheeses like Monterey Jack or mozzarella for a different flavor profile.
  • Cook bacon ahead of time to save prep time and ensure crispy texture.
  • To reduce sodium, use a low-sodium bacon and adjust added salt accordingly.
  • For added veggies, consider mixing in chopped bell peppers or onions with the beef during cooking.
  • Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
