Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole...

This is low carb, of course, and absolutely delicious! It's the best of a bacon cheeseburger with the taste of a great meatloaf (and I am picky about my meatloaf).

I have made this twice now and my husband is a HUGE fan! If you get a chance to try it out, come back to let me know what you thought!

Low Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

What You Will Need:
  • 2.25 pounds ground beef
  • 2 cloves large garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 pound bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 7 to 8 eggs *See Note Below
  • 1 can tomato paste, 6 oz.
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 12 oz. grated cheddar cheese, divided
*Depending on how "eggie" you want the casserole to be will determine how many eggs you want to use. I used seven the first time and it was a big hit. The second time I used eight and it was certainly "eggie".

What You Will Do:
  • Brown ground beef with garlic and onion powder.
  • Drain excess grease, then spread beef on bottom of 9x13-inch casserole pan.
  • Stir bacon pieces into cooked beef
  • In medium bowl, whisk together eggs, tomato paste, heavey cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Stir 9 oz. grated cheese into egg mixture.
  • Pour egg mixture over beef and bacon.
  • Top with remaining 4 oz. of grated cheese. (I did a little more since we like a cruncy, cheezy topping)
  • Bake at 350 F for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown on top.
