Description
A satisfying and delicious casserole that combines the flavors of a cheeseburger with low-carb ingredients, perfect for dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 6 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
- 2 tbsp cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tbsp sugar-free ketchup (optional)
- 1 tsp yellow mustard
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped pickles (optional topping)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the bacon until crispy. Remove, crumble, and set aside.
- Drain most of the bacon grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon. Add the ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is soft.
- Stir in the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Lower the heat and stir in the cream cheese until melted. Add the crumbled bacon back in, and spread evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, mustard, and ketchup (if using) in a bowl. Stir in half of the cheddar and mozzarella.
- Pour the egg mixture over the beef layer. Top with remaining cheeses.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until set and golden.
- Cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with pickles or parsley if desired.
