Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it on paper towels to drain excess grease. Crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In the same skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease from the beef.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the cooked ground beef. Sauté for a few minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add them to the cream cheese mixture. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
Add the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until you have a smooth and creamy sauce.
In the greased baking dish, spread the cooked ground beef mixture evenly.
Pour the cream cheese sauce over the ground beef, covering it completely.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and chopped dill pickles over the top of the casserole.
Spread the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole.
If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added flavor and a touch of garnish.
Bake the Low-Carb Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
