Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks, until it's no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is translucent.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, heavy cream, mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Transfer the mixture to a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, be sure to thoroughly brown the ground beef and sauté the onions and garlic to develop a rich, caramelized flavor. Adjust the ratios of meat, cheese, and creamy elements to achieve the perfect texture. Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving to help the flavors meld and the dish to set up properly.
