Ingredients
 

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pickles for garnish (optional)
  • Chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cook the Bacon:

  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and set aside.

Cook the Beef:

  • In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef and cook until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
  • Drain any excess fat from the skillet.

Prepare the Beef Mixture:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with half of the shredded cheddar cheese, all the mozzarella cheese, and the crumbled bacon. Mix well.

Make the Egg Mixture:

  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, tomato paste, salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder until smooth.

Assemble the Casserole:

  • Pour the beef mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the beef mixture, spreading it out evenly to cover.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.

Bake:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.

Serve:

  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Garnish with pickles and chopped parsley or green onions, if desired.
