Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

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 thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook Beef Mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and softened.
  3. Add Cream Cheese: Stir in the cream cheese with the beef mixture until it melts completely, creating a creamy texture. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  4. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. Season lightly with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Layer Ingredients: Transfer the beef and cream cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish evenly. Then pour the egg and cream mixture over the beef layer, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Add Cheese and Bacon: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top of the egg layer. Then evenly distribute the crumbled cooked bacon over the cheese.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the casserole is golden on top and bubbling.
  8. Rest and Garnish: Let the casserole cool for 5 to 10 minutes after baking. Garnish with chopped parsley, chives, or sliced pickles if desired before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • For extra cheesiness, add additional shredded cheddar or your favorite cheese blend.
  • If you prefer a spicier casserole, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the beef mixture.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easier melting and incorporation.
  • Allow the casserole to rest after baking to help it set for easier slicing and serving.
