Poor Man Husband Casserole (CARNIVORE Version)

🥩 Poor Man Husband Casserole (CARNIVORE Version)

🍳 Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs ground beef (80/20 or whatever’s cheapest)

• 6 eggs

• 1 cup ricotta cheese (or cottage cheese, drained)

• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar (or mozzarella, or a mix)

• 4 oz cream cheese

• Salt to taste

• Optional: Crumbled bacon, pork rinds, or leftover sausage

🔪 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven:
   To 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the ground beef:
   In a skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat. Season with salt. Drain excess fat (or keep it if you want the extra calories/fat).

3. Mix ricotta & eggs:
   In a bowl, whisk 6 eggs and mix in ricotta cheese and softened cream cheese. Stir until mostly smooth. This becomes the creamy binder layer.

4. Layer it up in a baking dish:
   Use a 9×9 or 8×8 casserole dish:

   • Bottom layer: half the cooked ground beef

   • Middle layer: the egg + cheese mixture

   • Top layer: the rest of the ground beef

   • Final topping: sprinkle all the shredded cheese

5. Bake:
   Place in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly, and center is set.

6. Cool slightly & serve:
   Let it sit for 5–10 minutes before slicing. It firms up as it cools.

🍽️ Optional Add-Ins (still carnivore):

• Pork rinds crushed into the cheese layer for crunch

• Chopped boiled eggs mixed into the meat

• Ground chicken or turkey for variety

• Liver or heart (finely minced into the meat to boost nutrients)

🧊 Storage:

• Fridge: Up to 5 days

• Freezer: Slice and freeze in portions for up to 2 months
