Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground beef (80/20 recommended for richness)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or preferred cheese)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Optional toppings: more shredded cheese, crispy bacon, or pickles (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan or a similar oven-safe cake pan.
- Prepare the ground beef layer:
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spatula.
- Season with salt and pepper. Drain any excess fat if necessary, then let the beef cool slightly.
- Mix in the eggs and cheese:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the Parmesan and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir in the cooked ground beef until fully combined.
- Assemble the “cake”:
- Pour the beef mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it down to form an even layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the cake is set.
- Optional toppings: For added flavor, garnish with extra cheese, crispy bacon, or pickles.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cake to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy a savory slice of your cheeseburger cake!
- This carnivore cheeseburger cake is perfect as a standalone meal or paired with a side of eggs or bone broth for an even more nutrient-dense experience.
