Make a delicious cheeseburger breakfast casserole with ground beef and eggs

Making this cheeseburger breakfast casserole is a surefire way to start your day off on the right foot. Most nights when I go to sleep I think about my first cup f coffee the next morning, but when I had this casserole in the fridge last week I fell asleep thinking of breakfast.

Have you ever realized how if people say something over and over again, its probably true? Something I had heard so many times is how important it is meal prep. It took me so long to jump on board with meal prep, but once I finally did I know that I would never go back.

The easiest way to jump into meal prep is to start with breakfast. I love making breakfast bakes like this cheeseburger breakfast casserole. You use just one pan to prepare a full week of breakfast.

I have found that eating lower carb really helps with my autoimmune disease symptoms, but I know that I need to eat more fat when I reduce my carbs in order to stay satisfied. This cheeseburger breakfast casserole is a great way to get as many good fats as possible in at breakfast time.

I usually think of bacon or sausage when I think of breakfast meat, but doing my first Whole30 introduced me to eating ground beef at breakfast and I was a huge fan. This hearty breakfast dish is beefed up (pun intended) with the addition of some seasoned ground beef and onions.

This cheeseburger breakfast casserole is so simple to make. I made a video of myself making this dish to show just how easy it is.

Ingredients and kitchen tools you need to make a Cheeseburger Breakfast Casserole

This cheeseburger breakfast casserole packs all of the flavor of a cheeseburger into a delicious and healthy breakfast dish. My girlfriend is usually very complimentary of my food, but the last time I made a breakfast casserole, it wasn’t her favorite. I knew I had to redeem myself with something extra tasty.

To make this recipe you will need some simple kitchen items starting with a 13×9 baking dish. Other than that grab a whisk, a frying pan, and a sharp knife. Before you get started cooking I highly recommend putting on your favorite podcast or playlist.

The ingredients you will need for this recipe are a dozen eggs, 1/2 lb of ground beef, 1/2 a yellow onion, and cheddar cheese. I use salt and pepper to season and avocado oil to cook. Be sure to spray your baking dish with avocado oil spray to grease it before you bake.

How to make a Cheeseburger Breakfast Casserole

To make this cheeseburger breakfast casserole start by dicing 1/2 a yellow onion and cooking the onion in avocado oil in a frying pan over medium-low until soft and fragrant. Add the ground beef to the pan to brown and season with salt and pepper. Cook the ground beef over medium until cooked and set the onion and beef mixture to the side.

Spray a baking dish with avocado oil spray and crack 12 eggs directly into the pan. Whisk the eggs together and pour the onion and beef back into the pan. Spread the cheddar cheese on top and place in the oven.

Bake at 400F for 30 minutes and then slice it into 12 squares. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven.
