Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon salted butter for greasing
  • 1 teaspoon bacon grease or beef tallow for cooking
  • 1 pound bulk sausage (any type—opt for plain or lightly seasoned to fit the carnivore diet)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 (8-ounce) block of cream cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish with salted butter. This adds richness and prevents the casserole from sticking.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add bacon grease or tallow to the pan. Once hot, add ground sausage and beef, breaking the meat into small pieces as it browns.
  3. Cook the mixture for several minutes, sprinkle in salt, and mix well. Drain the excess fat, leaving about a tablespoon behind for added flavor, then transfer the meat to a mixing bowl to cool slightly.
  4. In a blender, combine eggs, cream cheese, and sour cream. Blend until creamy, smooth, and well combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into the bowl with the cooked meat and gently stir to distribute the ingredients evenly. Transfer to the prepared dish, smoothing the top for even cooking.
  6. Bake for about 45 minutes, until the center is set with a slight jiggle. Avoid overbake to maintain the perfect texture—soft, rich, and creamy. Remove, let cool, then slice for serving.

Notes

If you want to mix things up, try using ground lamb or chicken instead of beef.
Add cooked bacon crumbles to enhance the richness and depth of flavor.
For extra nutrition, include organ meats like ground liver — they’re nutrient-dense and carnivore-approved.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
Reheat in the microwave or oven for a quick and easy meal.
Prepare the casserole the night before, then bake it fresh in the morning for a hot, satisfying breakfast.
