Low-Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole Recipe:
Embrace the comforting essence of a hearty meal with this easy-to-make and irresistibly tasty casserole.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 pound cooked bacon, cut into pieces
- 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 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with the minced garlic and onion powder until brown and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.
- Prepare the Casserole Base: Transfer the browned beef to a 9×13-inch casserole dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Evenly distribute the cooked bacon pieces over the beef.
- Mix the Egg Layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, salt, and black pepper. Stir in half of the shredded Cheddar cheese (8 ounces) into the egg mixture.
- Assemble the Casserole: Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the beef and bacon layers, making sure to cover them evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 4 ounces of Cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
- Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the layers to set, making it easier to serve.
