# What You'll Need:

→ Main

01 - 2 cloves garlic, chopped
02 - 1 medium onion, diced small
03 - 6 bacon slices, chopped up
04 - 1 lb ground beef

→ Cheese and Cream

05 - 0.5 cup heavy cream
06 - 4 big eggs
07 - 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, split for topping

→ Seasonings

08 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
09 - 1 teaspoon salt
10 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
11 - 1 tablespoon yellow mustard

→ Optional Garnishes

12 - Diced tomatoes
13 - Chopped green onions

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - If you want, throw on some chopped green onions and a handful of diced tomatoes before digging in.
02 - Let the dish sit for about 5 minutes after pulling it from the oven. Then it's good to serve.
03 - Pop everything in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes so the top gets bubbly and a little brown.
04 - Take the last cup of shredded cheddar and cover the whole top with it.
05 - Carefully pour your creamy egg mix all over so it sinks down into the beef layer.
06 - Scoop your bacon-beef mix into your greased 8x8 dish, then spread out half the cheese over it.
07 - In a big bowl, beat together eggs, cream, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper until it looks nice and smooth.
08 - Toss the bacon back in with the beef, mix everything well, and give it a couple minutes to cool off.
09 - Throw in the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until it's browned. Pour off extra fat before going on.
10 - Toss your chopped onion and garlic into that bacon fat in the skillet. Cook until the onions turn clear and smell great.
11 - Fry the chopped bacon in a big skillet at medium heat till crispy. Use a slotted spoon to take out the bacon, but leave the grease.
12 - Crank your oven up to 375°F (190°C) and grease your 8x8 pan just a bit.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Easy to prep ahead—leftovers stay tasty and don't get weird after reheating.
02 - Toss in some sautéed peppers or mushrooms if you want even more flavor.
03 - Go for turkey bacon if you want something leaner instead of pork.
04 - A quick salad on the side makes this a full meal.
05 - Season to your liking and tweak flavors however you want.
