Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef Provides the meaty base of the dish
  • 2 cloves garlic minced, adds depth of flavor
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder Enhances the savory profile
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon crumbled, about 6 slices
  • 4 eggs Binds the ingredients together and adds creaminess
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream Adds richness and a custard-like texture
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt Seasons the dish
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper Adds mild heat and depth
  • 12 oz shredded cheddar cheese divided; melts into the casserole, adding a gooey, cheesy layer

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven: Set it to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish or grease it with a little butter. You’re about to fill it with something delicious.
  • Cook your beef: In a big skillet, brown the ground beef with the garlic and onion powder over medium-high heat. Break it up as it cooks — takes about 5–7 minutes. Drain the extra grease. (Seriously, don’t skip that. Too greasy = sad casserole.)
  • Layer it up: Spread the beef into the casserole dish. Sprinkle the bacon all over the top. Try not to eat the bacon straight off the cutting board like I do.
  • Mix your creamy base: Whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and 8 oz of the cheese in a bowl. Pour it right over the beef and bacon.
  • Finish with more cheese: Top it with the remaining 4 oz of cheddar. The cheesier, the better.
  • Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the center is set and reaches 160°F (71°C) on a food thermometer.
  • Cool for 5 (if you can wait): Let it sit for a few minutes before cutting. It helps everything hold together and keeps you from burning your tongue (been there).

Notes

This dish is perfect for meal prep and reheats well for easy weeknight dinners. Consider adding chopped pickles or jalapeños for an extra kick.
