  5. Assemble the Casserole:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Add the cooked ground beef mixture, crumbled bacon, 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped dill pickles (if using). Mix until everything is well combined.
  6. Bake:
    • Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve:
    • Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy the casserole hot.

Storage Options:
