Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon mustard (yellow or Dijon)
- ½ cup chopped pickles (optional but delicious)
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Green onions, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Bacon
In a large skillet, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the pan. - Brown the Beef and Onions
Add ground beef and diced onion to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Add garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and pickles (if using). Stir well, season with salt and pepper, and remove from heat. - Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream. Stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. - Assemble the Casserole
Spread the beef mixture evenly in a greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the top. Sprinkle with cooked bacon and a bit more cheese. - Bake
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden on top. - Serve
Let cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with green onions, extra pickles, or a drizzle of sugar-free ketchup if desired.
