Instructions:

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat until fully cooked. Break it apart into small pieces using a wooden spoon. Drain excess fat if necessary, though leaving a bit for flavor is ideal.
Season the Beef: Season the cooked ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and heavy cream. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon to the mixture, stirring until combined.
Combine Beef and Cheese: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooked ground beef in the skillet and stir until the beef is well-coated.
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. This will help bind the casserole together.
Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the beef and cheese mixture into a greased 9×13 casserole dish. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.
Optional Cheese Topping: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top for extra cheesy goodness (optional but recommended).
Bake the Casserole: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is slightly golden.
Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your high-protein, carnivore-friendly meal!
