🥩 Carnivore Casserole (Pepperoni & Beef)

Ingredients

• 2 lb ground beef (80/20 works great)

• 1 lb pork sausage (optional but 🔥 — use more beef if strict carnivore)

• 8–10 oz pepperoni slices

• 3 cups shredded cheese

  • cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix (full-fat)

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• 4 large eggs

• ½ cup heavy cream (optional; can skip for stricter carnivore)

• 1–1½ tsp salt (to taste)

• 1 tsp black pepper (optional)

• 1 tsp garlic powder (optional, if you allow spices)

• Beef tallow or butter for greasing the dish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Brown the meats

   • Cook ground beef (and sausage if using) in a skillet over medium heat.

   • Season with salt (and pepper if using).

   • Drain excess fat if needed, but leave some for flavor.

3. Mix the base

   • In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, eggs, and heavy cream.

   • Whisk until smooth.

4. Assemble

   • Grease a 9×13 glass baking dish.

   • Spread the cooked meat evenly in the dish.

   • Pour the egg/cream cheese mixture over the meat.

   • Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top.

5. Pepperoni layer

   • Arrange pepperoni slices across the top (edge-to-edge like in your photo).

6. Bake

   • Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until bubbly and golden.

7. Optional broil

   • Broil for 2–3 minutes if you want extra crispy pepperoni.

8. Rest & serve

   • Let it rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips

• Want it extra crispy? Pre-broil the pepperoni on a sheet pan for 3–4 minutes before topping.

• For strict carnivore: skip spices and heavy cream—still amazing.

• Leftovers reheat insanely well (air fryer = chef’s kiss).

If you want, tell me:

• Strict carnivore or keto-style?
