Ingredients
- 1 lb 450g ground beef (80/20 or higher fat content)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or your choice)
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon (chopped)
- 1/4 cup beef bone broth (optional; for moisture)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: herbs and spices (e.g., garlic powder, onion powder, paprika)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Meat:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if desired.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and any optional herbs or spices.
- Combine Ingredients:
- Add the cooked ground beef, chopped bacon, and shredded cheese to the egg mixture. If using, pour in the optional beef bone broth for added moisture. Stir until well-combined.
- Transfer to Baking Dish:
- Grease a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking dish. Pour the meat and egg mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown. Check doneness with a toothpick or knife; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Notes
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze individual portions.
- Variations: Feel free to substitute the ground beef with other meats like sausage, ground pork, or turkey, and mix in different types of cheese according to your preference.
- Serving Suggestions: This casserole pairs well with a side of crispy pork rinds for extra crunch!
Enjoy your carnivore breakfast casserole!
