Ingredients :
1 lb ground beef (80/20 or your preferred ratio)
8 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese blend)
4 large eggs
½ cup heavy cream
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings: pickles, mustard, or extra cheese for serving.
Directions :
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
First things first: preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with a bit of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef until it’s browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease to avoid a soggy pie. Once browned, season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This layer of seasoning really brings out those delicious cheeseburger flavors.
Step 3: Crisp Up the Bacon
While your beef is cooking, fry up your bacon until it’s crispy. Once done, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set it aside.
Step 4: Layer the Ingredients
Now for the fun part! In your greased pie dish, spread the cooked ground beef evenly. Then, sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the beef, followed by 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. It’s already starting to look amazing, right?
Step 5: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese. This creamy, cheesy mixture will bind everything together as it bakes, giving you a pie with a rich, custardy texture.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the beef and bacon in the pie dish. Pop it into your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are fully set. You’ll know it’s ready when the house fills with the irresistible smell of bacon, beef, and cheese!
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!
Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. You can enjoy it as is, but for an extra burst of flavor, top each slice with pickles, mustard, or even more cheese.
