Description
A comforting and easy weeknight dinner that transforms classic cheeseburgers into a creamy, cheesy casserole while keeping it low-carb.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 slices of turkey bacon, chopped
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup pickles, diced (optional)
- Mustard and ketchup for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the chopped turkey bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the grease in the skillet.
- Add the diced onions to the skillet and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
- Stir in the cooked beef, bacon, and half of the cheddar cheese. If using, mix in the diced pickles.
- Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with mustard and ketchup if desired.
