Ingredients (in table sheet format):
| Ingredients | Amount |
|---|---|
| Bacon (½ inch segments) | 1 pound |
| High-quality ground beef | 1 pound |
| Montreal Steak Seasoning | 1 teaspoon |
| Eggs (thoroughly beaten) | 4 |
| Heavy cream | 1 cup |
| Finely shredded Cheddar Cheese | 2 cups |
| Ingredients | Amount |

| White vinegar | ¼ cup |

- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Ensure that the inside of a 9×13 casserole dish is adequately greased with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook the bacon: Using a large skillet, place it over medium heat. Cook the bacon until it achieves a crisp texture. Subsequently, extract the bacon with a slotted utensil and allow it to drain, placing it atop absorbent paper towels.
- Cook the ground beef: Utilizing the residual fat in the skillet, introduce the ground beef. Cook it until it achieves thorough doneness, which approximately takes 8 minutes. After the ground beef is adequately cooked, remove any excess grease. Integrate the Montreal steak seasoning into the beef, ensuring an even distribution of flavor.
- Combine ingredients: In an adequately sized mixing vessel, amalgamate all the aforementioned ingredients. Once an even consistency and distribution are achieved, transfer the contents to the previously prepared casserole dish.
- Bake: Insert the dish into the preheated oven. Allow it to bake for a duration of 30 minutes or until it exhibits thorough cooking. Once completed, it is ready for serving.
Enjoy your delicious Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole!
