Cooking Steps
- In a skillet, cook bacon until crispy. Remove, crumble, and set aside.
- Drain most of the bacon grease, leaving about 1 tbsp. Add ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook until beef is browned and onion is soft.
- Stir in smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Lower heat, stir in softened cream cheese until melted into the beef mixture. Add crumbled bacon back in.
- Spread this mixture evenly into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, mustard, and ketchup (if using). Stir in half the cheddar and half the mozzarella.
- Pour egg mixture over the beef layer in the baking dish. Top with remaining cheeses.
- Place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.
- Let cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with pickles or parsley if desired.
Notes
This casserole keeps well in the fridge for about 3-4 days. It also freezes beautifully—just wrap it tightly! Reheat in the microwave or oven for a fresh-baked feel.
