While your beef is cooking, fry up your bacon until it’s crispy. Once done, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set it aside.
Step 4: Layer the Ingredients
Now for the fun part! In your greased pie dish, spread the cooked ground beef evenly. Then, sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the beef, followed by 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. It’s already starting to look amazing, right?
Step 5: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese. This creamy, cheesy mixture will bind everything together as it bakes, giving you a pie with a rich, custardy texture.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the beef and bacon in the pie dish. Pop it into your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the eggs are fully set. You’ll know it’s ready when the house fills with the irresistible smell of bacon, beef, and cheese!
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!
Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. You can enjoy it as is, but for an extra burst of flavor, top each slice with pickles, mustard, or even more cheese.
