Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 6 strips bacon, diced
- ½ medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- to taste chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
- to taste diced tomatoes (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients and tools: a large skillet, a mixing bowl, and an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cooking
- Cook the diced bacon in the skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, keeping the grease.
- Sauté the onion in the bacon grease until translucent, about 3-5 minutes, then add the garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks until browned. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in the crispy bacon with the cooked beef and allow to cool slightly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
- Spread the beef and bacon mixture in the greased baking dish, layer 1 cup of shredded cheese over the meat, and pour the egg mixture on top. Finish with the remaining cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before garnishing with green onions and tomatoes, if desired.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For freezing, wrap tightly and store for up to 2-3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for best results.
