Bacon Cheeseburger Egg Casserole with Two Cheeses
Seasoned ground beef and bacon under an egg-and-cream mixture with cheddar, mozzarella, mustard, ketchup, and optional pickle garnish.
Ingredients
Beef and Bacon
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt or less with salty bacon and cheese
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Egg Layer and Cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar divided
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella divided
- 2 tablespoons ketchup sugar-free if preferred
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Garnish and Preparation
- 2 tablespoons chopped pickles optional
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley optional
- 1 teaspoon butter for greasing dish
- 0–1 teaspoon neutral oil only if bacon yields less than 1 tablespoon fat
Instructions
- Preheat to 350°F and grease a 9-by-13-inch dish. Fry bacon until crisp, remove, and crumble. Retain about 1 tablespoon rendered fat, adding the listed small oil amount only if needed.
- Brown beef with diced onion until the beef reaches 160°F. Stir in minced garlic for 30 seconds, then paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Melt cream cheese into the meat over low heat and mix in bacon. Spread in the dish.
- In a bowl beat the eggs with ketchup, mustard, and heavy cream. Stir in ½ cup cheddar and ½ cup mozzarella, then pour over the meat. Scatter the remaining ½ cup of each cheese over the surface.
- Bake 25–35 minutes or longer until the center reaches 165°F and is set, covering loosely if the top browns early. Rest 5 minutes and add optional pickles or parsley before serving.
Notes
Cook both meats before assembly. Cheese is divided equally between the egg mixture and topping. A sugar-free condiment option does not establish a nutrition claim for the entire casserole.
