Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 4 slices bacon, diced
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
  • Chopped dill pickles and sugar-free ketchup, for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large oven-safe skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Add beef, onion, garlic; cook until beef is browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to low. Stir in tomato paste, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute, then remove from heat.
  3. In a bowl, whisk eggs, cream cheese, and heavy cream until smooth. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheddar.
  4. Spread beef mixture evenly in skillet. Pour cheese mixture over top, spread gently, then top with remaining 1/2 cup cheddar. Bake 25 to 30 minutes until set and golden. Let rest 5 minutes. Slice and serve with pickles and ketchup.

Notes

For the most cheeseburger-like flavor, use yellow mustard and sharp cheddar. A sprinkle of dill pickles on each slice is what really sells it. Leftovers keep well and taste even better the next day.
