Calories 1620kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 10 strips bacon (or so)
- 6 ounces tomato paste (or so)
- 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (or so)
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Start by cooking the hamburger meat first.
- Be sure to add the minced garlic and onion powder while you are frying it.
- This will give the ground beef a good amount of flavor.
- I’ve got to give some major credit to my long handle measuring spoons.
- I bought these for myself a while ago and I’m so happy at how helpful they are in many ways! Just look how I am about to measure out my minced onion! The typical measuring spoons would never help in big jars like this.

- Add the bacon crumbles to the mixture.
- Then add the small 6 oz can of tomato paste to the meat.
- Mix it thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, combine the eggs, 6 oz of cheese, 1 cup of heavy cream and 3 tablespoons of coconut flour.
- By this time the ground beef mixture should have cooled down some.
- Add the ground beef mixture to the egg mixture and mix it till it’s well combined.
- (the first time I made this recipe layered the ground beef and put the mixture over the top.
- You can do it this way but I like it mixed a little better.)
- I sprayed my casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and filled it with my casserole mixture.
- Top the casserole with the remaining 2 oz of shredded cheese and put it in the oven.
- I used my favorite Pioneer Woman casserole dishes.
- I used the small casserole pan that measures 11.75 in x 8.25 in x 2.5 in with a depth.
- This recipe filled it all the way to the top.
- The size of your pan will determine the cooking time.
- This size pan took about 40 minutes to cook.
- You will know when the casserole is done by sticking a knife in the center of the mixture.
- If the knife comes out clean, then the center of the casserole is completely cooked.
- If it doesn’t, it needs more time.
