Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef (preferably grass-fed for extra flavor)
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup chopped pickles for an authentic burger flavor
- ½ cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: chopped green onions, extra cheese, or sliced tomatoes
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook bacon until crispy, crumble into small pieces, and set aside.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, seasoning with salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Sauté diced onions in the skillet until translucent. Add Worcestershire sauce and chopped pickles, stirring well to combine.
- Mix in cream cheese until melted and smooth, creating a creamy beef mixture.
- Transfer the beef mixture into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, followed by crumbled bacon. Add more cheese if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Remove from oven, let it rest, then garnish with chopped green onions or additional toppings. Serve hot with a side salad or keto-friendly sides.
Notes
- Use high-quality ground beef and crispy bacon for maximum flavor.
- For a spicier version, add hot sauce or diced jalapeños.
- Mix in sour cream or extra cream cheese for a creamier texture.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave for a quick meal.
