Make sure you read the ingredients on your cream cheese! In Australia, Philly cheese is filled with inedible fibres like locust bean and other crap that shouldn’t be eaten. Suggest a yoghurt cheese or other type of cheese might be better?
Wow….this came as a surprise to me; I had no idea. I’ve just made this, and thought I’d read the comments whilst it was cooking. So I’ve checked the ingredients, and sure enough, there it is. Thanks for pointing that out.
Wow ,l didn’t know that ,so what cheese do you use ? Never heard of yoghurt cheese
Made it several times. Both my husband and I love it! Thank you!
Fantastic, easy to prepare, very filling, and tasty! I added a few crumbles of Feta cheese on top (after baking…should’ve added before I took it out of the oven). If you eat cheese, a little shredded cheese would go great sprinkled over the top after coming out of the oven, also. I ended up eating about half of the dish in one sitting.
Tips: Watch the time and make sure the center of the casserole is cooked thoroughly; mine was still a bit “liquidy” at 30 mins. Also, my 9-inch pyrex pie dish was full-to-the-brim with the mixture before baking. You might consider putting a cookie sheet underneath it in the oven, if you’re in the same spot (or using a slightly larger pie tin, etc.).
Is there a way to make this recipe without dairy? I am highly allergic to all dairy.
Just eggs and beef, it might be to dry?
thanks
I have tweaked this recipe to my liking, making it dairy free. This is how I do it.
First a few notes:
–I use Costco’s organic ground beef that comes in packages of 21.44 oz. I use a whole package of the ground beef.
–Whenever I sous vide a steak in the sealed bag in a water bath, there is always some meat juice left in the bag. I tasted it once and decided it would be delicious if I salted it. Not wanting to throw out good food, I pour the juice into a jar and freeze it. After a while I have a few jars full of beef broth in the freezer. It is so much better than trying to make bone broth from bones or purchasing expensive beef bone broth.
—OK. You follow the recipe instructions here, but use this ingredient list.
21.44 oz ground beef
6 eggs
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/2 cup beef broth
I use a special (although not carnivore) added ingredient. I add 2 tsp of an herbal seasoning. My choice is Penzey’s Fox Point Seasoning. It contains salt, so I adjust the salt to taste. This make the whole thing delicious to me. Sometimes I eat this Carnivore Casserole with a fried egg with runny yolk. Sometimes I’ll add a tiny bit of leftover drippings from pork ribs I smoked during the week. Yum!
Yup! I save all sorts of drippings from my meat to make my next meals even better. I try not to waste anything.
What are the macros for this recipe ? Has anyone worked that out ?
