Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the bacon strips and cook them until crispy (8–10 minutes). Drain on paper towels, reserving 2 tbsp of bacon fat.
- In the same skillet with the reserved bacon fat, add the diced onion and sauté for about 3–4 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
- Add the ground beef and break apart with a spatula. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until browned. Drain excess fat, mix in Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until thoroughly combined.
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish, then layer the casserole starting with beef and onion mixture, followed by cherry tomatoes, crumbled bacon, and sprinkles of both cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the assembled layers in the baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
