- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 lb cooked bacon cut into pieces
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ tsp salt

Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Combine and Top: Pour the egg and cream mixture evenly over the beef and bacon in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining 4 ounces of Cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are bubbling and the cheese on top is golden brown.
- Rest and Serve: Allow the casserole to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
