Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 6 large eggs
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
  • Lightly brown meat in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Add the cream, cream cheese, and salt. Mix well to combine. Add meat and stir well.
  • Pour the egg meat mixture into a greased 9-inch round pie plate or something similar. Bake for 25-30 minutes until eggs set. Let rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

  • If you don’t want to go all out and bake the meat and eggs together, a quicker version of this dish is scrambled eggs with ground beef.
  • Add optional protein boosts like crispy bacon, crumbled sausage, shredded rotisserie chicken, or even chopped steak.
  • Consider adding extra cream cheese to bring in a more creamy finish if your beef is leaner.
Serve: For breakfast, leftovers are delicious reheated in browned butter or top slices with crispy bacon bits or crumbled, cooked sausage. For dinner, serve alongside beef bone broth, steak bites, or air fryer chicken breasts.
Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To freeze, slice the casserole into portions, wrap tightly, and place in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to a month.
