Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Gather all the ingredients.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, place the diced bacon over medium heat and cook until crispy, about 5-8 minutes.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the grease in the skillet.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion turns translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
- Stir the crispy bacon into the beef mixture and let it cool slightly.
Assembly
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- In a greased 8x8-inch baking dish, spread the beef and bacon mixture evenly across the bottom, then layer 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the meat and cheese, allowing it to sink in a bit.
- Sprinkle the remaining cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Baking
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped green onions and diced tomatoes.
