Description

This Atkins quiche recipe is essentially a crustless cheeseburger made with ground beef, bacon, egg, mayo, and Cheddar for a simple weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

3 thick slices bacon, diced
1/2 small yellow onion, diced
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
6 eggs
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and onion; cook and stir until sizzling, about 5 minutes. Add beef; season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until beef is crumbly and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Season with garlic salt and onion powder. Continue cooking until beef is browned, about 5 minutes more. Drain excess grease.
3 Press beef mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Cover with 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
4 Whisk eggs, mayonnaise, and heavy cream together in a bowl until well combined. Pour over Cheddar cheese and beef mixture in the pie plate.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese on top. Continue baking until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes more.
