Equipment

Large skillet
9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish
Mixing bowl
Whisk
Cheese grater
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (454g)
6 slices bacon, chopped (about 6 oz/170g)
1 medium onion, diced (about 4 oz/113g)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream (240ml)
2 large eggs
½ cup sugar-free ketchup (120ml)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (8 oz/227g)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (1 oz/28g)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the skillet.
In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the diced onion and cook until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, eggs, sugar-free ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Spread the cooked ground beef mixture evenly in the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking dish. Pour the cream and egg mixture over the beef. Sprinkle the cooked bacon pieces evenly across the top.
Mix the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese together, then sprinkle the cheese mixture over the bacon layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the casserole to set and makes it easier to slice.

Notes

For an even heartier casserole, you can add a layer of sliced pickles or chopped tomatoes before adding the cheese. This casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave when ready to enjoy again.
