Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the meat
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan (using the bacon fat), sauté the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and tomato paste if using.
Drain excess fat if needed and set aside.
Step 2: Make the egg mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream.
Stir in half of the shredded cheddar, all of the mozzarella, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Mix well.
Step 3: Assemble & bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a greased baking dish, layer the cooked beef mixture evenly.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the beef.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and cooked bacon on top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
Add sugar-free pickles or sliced tomatoes on the side for a cheeseburger-style plate.

Variations
