• 4 large eggs
• 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
• 2 tbsp yellow mustard

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook diced bacon for 5-6 minutes until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving 1 tbsp of fat in the pan.

4. Season beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in mustard and Worcestershire sauce.
5. Transfer beef and bacon to the prepared baking dish.
6. In a bowl, beat eggs with softened cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth.
7. Pour egg mixture over the beef. Stir to combine.
8. Top with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the casserole is set and cheese is golden.
10. Let rest for 5 minutes. Top with remaining cheddar, pickles, and green onions before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Make sure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to prevent lumps in the egg mixture.
• Add 1/4 cup diced tomatoes or sugar-free ketchup to the beef layer for more burger flavor.
• Top with sliced jalapenos before baking for a spicy kick.
• This casserole freezes exceptionally well; cut into portions, freeze individually, and reheat in the oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes.
• Add a tablespoon of sugar-free BBQ sauce mixed into the beef for a smoky BBQ bacon cheeseburger variation.
