Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Season the Beef: Season the cooked ground beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream. This will help bind the casserole together.
  7. Assemble the Casserole: Transfer the beef and cheese mixture into a greased 9×13 casserole dish. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.
  8. Optional Cheese Topping: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top for extra cheesy goodness (optional but recommended).
  9. 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.
  10. Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your high-protein, carnivore-friendly meal!
