Beef & Egg Casserole (Paleo-Friendly)
Servings: 4–6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 35–40 minutes
Ingredients:
-
1 lb (450 g) ground beef (100% natural)
-
2–3 tbsp butter, divided
-
12 large eggs
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
1/3 cup cream cheese (plus a little extra, optional)
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
1–2 tsp Paleo pink seasoning (or to taste)
-
1–2 tbsp shredded cheese (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Cook beef: In a skillet, melt 1–2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until fully browned. Season lightly with salt, pepper, and Paleo pink seasoning.
-
Prepare crust: Grease a baking pan with remaining butter. Press the cooked ground beef evenly into the pan to form a crust.
-
Mix egg filling: In a large bowl, beat 12 eggs. Add 1 cup heavy cream and cream cheese (about 1/3 cup, plus a little extra if desired). Mix until smooth. Season with additional salt, pepper, and a pinch of Paleo pink seasoning.
-
Assemble casserole: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the beef crust. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese (about 1–2 tbsp) on top if desired.
-
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until eggs are fully set and slightly golden on top.
-
Serve: Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
✅ Tips:
-
For a fluffier egg layer, whisk eggs and cream until very frothy before pouring.
-
You can add veggies like spinach or mushrooms if you want a non-strict Paleo version.
