Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds ground beef Use lean ground beef for a healthier option.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 pound cooked bacon, chopped Cooked bacon can be crisped in oven or skillet.
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream For a lighter option, substitute with half-and-half or coconut milk.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Adjust salt based on preference.
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 12 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese Sharp cheddar brings more flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef, minced garlic, and onion powder. Cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. Drain excess grease and transfer the beef into the prepared 9×13-inch casserole dish.
  4. Stir in the cooked, chopped bacon until evenly distributed.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, salt, pepper, and 3/4 of the shredded Cheddar cheese until smooth.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the meat and bacon in the casserole dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 of the cheese on top.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, until the top is golden and the baked eggs are set.
  2. Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Serve garnished with parsley or green onions. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 2-3 months.
