Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 ½ lbs ground beef
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ½ cup dill pickle slices
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup cooked bacon pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preheat and prep:
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Cook the beef:
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onions, sautéing until the beef is fully cooked and the onions are softened. Drain any excess fat.
Add flavor and creaminess:
  1. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, cream cheese, oregano, sugar-free ketchup, and salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring until the cream cheese melts and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Layer the casserole:
  1. Spread the beef mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Prepare the custard layer:
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and the heavy whipping cream. Pour this mixture over the meat layer in the casserole dish.
Add toppings:
  1. Arrange the dill pickle slices evenly over the custard layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese and the cooked bacon pieces on top.
Bake:
  1. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
Serve:
  1. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. This casserole is best enjoyed warm, straight from the dish.
  2. Enjoy!
