Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Dairy

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Optional Garnishes

  • Sliced pickles
  • Chopped parsley or chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prepare for the casserole.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: In a skillet set over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Then add the chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until they soften and the aroma becomes noticeable.
  3. Incorporate Cream Cheese: Stir in the cream cheese with the beef mixture until it melts and the mixture turns creamy. Remove the skillet from the heat once combined.
  4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste to enhance the flavors.
  5. Assemble Casserole: Transfer the cooked beef mixture into the greased baking dish evenly. Pour the whisked egg and cream mixture over the top, spreading it evenly.
  6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the entire surface of the casserole to add a rich cheesy layer.
  7. Add Bacon: Top the casserole with the crumbled cooked bacon for added crunch and smoky flavor.
  8. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling, indicating it is fully cooked.
  9. Cool and Garnish: Let the casserole cool for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives and sliced pickles if desired, then serve.

Notes

  • Make sure to cook the bacon until crisp before crumbling for the best texture.
  • You can substitute sharp cheddar cheese for a more pronounced flavor.
  • The casserole can be made ahead and refrigerated; reheat before serving.
  • For extra veggies, consider adding diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef mixture.
  • This casserole freezes well; store leftovers in an airtight container and thaw before reheating.
