Cook the beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, onions, and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and onions are soft. Drain excess fat.
Mix the base: Stir in BBQ sauce and crumbled bacon. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Set aside.
Assemble the casserole: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread the hash browns evenly across the bottom. Layer the beef and bacon mixture over the hash browns, then pour the egg mixture on top.
Top with cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the casserole.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
How to Prepare
To make the BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole, you’ll start by browning the ground beef with onions and garlic for extra flavor. Once the beef is cooked, mix it with tangy BBQ sauce and crispy crumbled bacon, creating a savory filling that bursts with flavor. While the beef mixture cools slightly, whisk together the eggs and milk—this adds richness and helps the casserole set nicely. Layer frozen hash browns in the bottom of your baking dish, followed by the beef-bacon mixture. Top everything with plenty of shredded cheddar cheese for that classic cheeseburger touch. Pop the casserole in the oven, and in just over 30 minutes, you’ll have a hearty, cheesy meal that’s sure to satisfy any burger craving.
