Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

1/2 lb bacon

1 lb ground beef

1/2 sweet onion

1 clove garlic

4 tbsp cream cheese

1/3 c diced dill pickle

2 tbsp reduced sugar ketchup

1 tbsp yellow mustard

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp seasoned salt

4 large eggs

1/4 c heavy cream

1 tsp ground pepper

1 tsp hot sauce

8 oz grated cheddar

Preheat oven to 350

If you start with raw bacon, dice and cook in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove from pan and drain bacon grease. Alternatively, you can use precooked bacon, heat in microwave and crumble or fry up some bacon pieces until crispy.

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Once done, add in the onion and garlic and cook about 5 min or until soft. Add in cream cheese, pickles, ketchup, mustard, sauce, and salt. Stir until mixed and transfer to greased 8 in casserole dish.

Beat eggs and whipping cream together, then add ground pepper and hot sauce. Pour over hamburger. Top with bacon, then with cheese.

Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Spicy Onion Rings

1 large onion

2 large eggs

1/2 c almond flour

1 tbsp paprika

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp dry oregano

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Slice onions into rings. Put all dry ingredients in bowl and mix, then put half in a second bowl. In another bowl, beat 2 eggs.

You can either bake them or fry them in oil. Dip your ring in the eye and then in your dry mixture. If you want to bake them, I recommending lining your cookie sheets with parchment paper or using a silicone mat. My preference is the mat, mainly because you can wash and reuse them. Parchment paper can get pricey if you have to use it often. You'll cook them at 425 for about 8-10 minutes on each side. If you want to fry them, heat your oil over medium heat - I prefer to fry them using a cast iron skillet. These fry up very quickly, so keep an eye on them! Drain on paper towel when done.
