Carnivore Casserole

by

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 or higher fat content)

  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese (full-fat)

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, if you’re okay with dairy)

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, if you’re okay with dairy)

  • 2 tbsp butter or animal fat (like beef tallow)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional spices (like garlic powder or onion powder) if your carnivore plan allows

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)

  • Fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley, if desired)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Ground Beef:

    • In a large skillet, melt the butter or animal fat over medium heat.

    • Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through (about 7-10 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary, but keep some for flavor.

  2. Prepare the Casserole Mixture:

    • Lower the heat and add the cream cheese to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir until the cream cheese melts and combines with the beef.

    • Add the heavy cream (if using) and mix well. Season with salt, pepper, and any other spices you’d like (like garlic powder or onion powder).

    • Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese, allowing it to melt and create a creamy texture.

  3. Assemble the Casserole:

    • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

    • Transfer the beef and cream cheese mixture into a greased casserole dish.

    • Sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese (if using) for an extra cheesy crust.

    • Optionally, you can add more mozzarella on top for a cheesy layer.

  4. Bake:

    • Place the casserole dish in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

  5. Serve:

    • Garnish with fresh herbs (like parsley) if desired.

    • Let the casserole sit for a few minutes to cool slightly, then slice and serve.

Optional Add-ins:

  • Eggs: If you want to add a richer texture, you can beat 2 eggs and mix them into the beef and cream cheese mixture before baking.

  • Bacon: Crumbled cooked bacon can be added for extra flavor.

  • Beef Broth: If you want more moisture, a small splash of beef broth can be added to the beef mixture.

This Carnivore Casserole is rich, filling, and packed with protein and fat, making it perfect for anyone following a carnivore diet. Enjoy!
