  • Yield: 6 servings

Description

A flavor-packed and comforting meal that brings all the best parts of a classic burger to your dinner table, sans bun.


Ingredients

  • → 1 pound ground beef (preferably 80/20 for flavor)
  • → 8 slices of bacon, chopped
  • → 1 small onion, diced
  • → 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • → 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • → 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • → 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • → 4 large eggs
  • → 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • → 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • → 1 teaspoon mustard (yellow or Dijon)
  • → 1 teaspoon salt
  • → 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • → 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • → 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • → 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • → Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and drain the grease.
  • In the same skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  • Transfer the beef and onion mixture to a 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the crispy bacon and halved cherry tomatoes over the top.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and all the seasonings.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the beef and bacon. Top with the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is set. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, do not drain all the grease from the ground beef.
  • You can cook this in a cast-iron skillet for a one-pan meal.
  • This casserole is a great option for meal prep.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables, such as mushrooms or bell peppers.
