Low-Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 pound cooked bacon, chopped
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 12 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to preheat.
- Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with minced garlic and onion powder, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any excess grease and discard it.
- Prepare the Casserole Base: Spread the browned beef evenly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Top with the chopped bacon, distributing it evenly.
- Mix the Egg Layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Stir in 8 ounces of shredded Cheddar cheese.
- Assemble the Casserole: Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the beef and bacon in the casserole dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 4 ounces of Cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
- Serve: Let the casserole cool slightly before slicing and serving to allow the layers to set.
