Low Carb 4-Ingredient Cheeseburger Skillet
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Ground beef | 1 pound |
| Bacon, cooked and crumbled | 8 slices |
| Cheddar cheese, shredded | 2 cups |
| Cream cheese | 4 ounces |
Step-By-Step Directions:
-
Brown beef: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up into crumbles, until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain off any excess grease.
-
Melt cream cheese: Reduce the heat to low, add the cream cheese to the hot beef, and stir until completely melted and evenly mixed into the meat.
-
Layer cheese and bacon: Stir in half of the crumbled bacon and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Spread the beef mixture into an even layer in the skillet, then top evenly with the remaining cheddar and crumbled bacon.
-
Bake: Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheddar cheese is completely melted and bubbly around the edges.
-
Rest and serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for 3 to 5 minutes before serving warm straight from the skillet.
