Bacon Cheeseburger Quiche

[Glenda]

Tried this recipe tonight and really enjoyed it. And have plenty leftover for tomorrow.

1 lb hamburger
1 small chopped onion
4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
3 eggs
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup half and half
8 oz shredded cheddar or swiss cheese
garlic powder(optional)

Brown hamburger with onion. Mix in bacon. Press into the bottom of a deep dish pie pan.
Combine remaining ingredients in mixer bowl and whip well. Pour mixture over beef and bake 40-45 minutes until top is browned and set. Cool 15 -20 minutes before slicing.
Apparently it does not freeze well. This makes 6 servings.

I ran it through Fitday and here are counts per serving:

Hope you enjoy it!!

and I liked it!

Thanks Glenda. I tried this recipe overthe weekend I I really liked it. I will definately make it again. It was AOK as re-heated leftovers too. Quite tasty with a salad.

[sumsuzy41]

We are making the quiche right now....there is no temperature :wave: setting listed on your recipe -- what do you recommend??? :wave:

[DWRolfe]

I guessed and cooked it at 350 degrees.

Enjoy!

It sounds like the impossible cheeseburger pie ( from the bisquick box). Obviously w/out the bisquick. I'm am sure to try this one. Maybe adding some chopped onion when frying the burger.

PS whats the role of the mayo? does it bind the ingredients?

[Glenda]

Hey mermaid. I would guess the mayo is for flavor, and to up the fat content. I dont' think it would act as a binder.
The recipe calls for onion, so go for it!!! Hope you enjoy it.

This looks delish! I'll be making it for dinner tonight!

[relliott1]

3 eggs
8 oz shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Brown beef and onion in a large skillet, drain, and add to crumbled bacon. Mix well, breaking up any large clumps. Press meat and bacon mixture in to the bottom of a casserole or deep dish pie pan.

[locarbs4me]

I make this at least once a week with a salad......have served it to company too. It's a definate winner!

[Steph44]

This sounds yum!

[nettie155]

This looks great! Just printed it up so I can try it tonight.

[Paladin]

Loved this recipe and so did my wife (and she's pretty picky). I'm sure it will be a regular menu item at our table from now on. Thanks.

[cincin11]

I made this the other day and it is very good. Very easy to make and it lasts a few days.
My non low carbing dh ate some . I thought he might not like it but he said "This stuff is pretty good." He put ketchup on top.
Then he had a second helping and was about to get a third when I said"hey thats for my diet" lol
I ate it for breakfast the last 2 days. Its all gone now. I might try experimenting and adding more veggies to it next time. Maybe green pepper. mushrooms.

[milmary]

This sounds good!--Why not add green beans to it? Mom used to make a hamburger pie when we were growing up-it was kind of like this and it had green beans in it. It had scoops of mashed potatoes on top too and browned in the oven...good!--So we don't put the mashed potatoes on the top....it will be great. I will be trying this soon.

[Meggen]

OMG! made this for dinner tonight it is a definate hit with me and my non LC DH. Thank you, was so nice to have something to do with ground beef beside burgers or meatloaf.

2 thumbs up!! :thup: :thup:

[blueflyer]

Hi Guys!
Just wanted to add my two cents in here. Saw this receipe and needed to make something easy. Well here's what happened. Had 1 lb of ground beef, no onion but a few green onions. Browned in skillet. Added some salt, pepper and fresh garlic, browned some more. Grabbed 3 eggs, 1/2 cup mayo, no cream but did have some sour cream. Dumped into a bowl and beat. Looked for some cheddar didn't have any, but did have some shredded mozarella, dumped that into the egg, mayo mix. And here in the frig is a couple of good dabs of black olives and feta cheese pesto. Dumped that into the ground beef, onion mixture. Preheated the oven to 350. Put beef mix into a 8 x 8 glass baking dish, poured the egg, mayo, cheese mix on top. Baked 25 minutes. Looks wonderful!!! Let cool, ate some, WOW THIS IS DELICIOUS!!!!

[bigguyjonc]

I made it without bacon.(was out) and it was still GREAT! I also added some heated cream cheese like in the pizza quiche recipe.

[mommyto3]

I'm going to give this a try too. I think that this would be great w/green peppers and mushrooms as well. Can't wait to go to the grocery store!

[scanance65]

This is a keeper. My son ate 3 servings oh my! Next time I might try to add some jalepenos to it for some spice. Thanks for the great recipe!!!!


Nanc

[Emerald34]

Wow! This recipe was so good. Both my hubby and (very picky) daughter also enjoyed it. We had one serving each for lunch (with a little salad) and we'll have the remainder for dinner. I'd recommend it to anybody.

[Tired]

Made it last night and my husband and 16 yr old step-son both liked it too.

I REALLY liked it! I'm eating it right now for lunch and can't wait to have it again.

Thanks!
Ann-Marie

[Vanity3]

Wow, it sounds easy enough for someone like me who is kitchen challenged!

[BlitzedAng]

I made this once with a packet of CarbOptions dry onion soup mix cause I ran out of onions.. It was still fabulous and the children loved it. I even ate some for brekki today :).

Angel

[DWRolfe]

Mmmmm...I haven't made this one in a while. I think I'll give it a whirl again this weekend. It's sooooo good.

[PilotGal]

Me toooooooooooooo, and this is one of those cheaper meals that go a long way!!

[angie80]

OMG! i am addicted to this quiche thank you so much for the recipie im gonna make this weekly! lol

[Amp]

[Sharlay]

[cwingrave]

This recipes sounds really good. I think I am going to try it.
Do you know exactly what the carb count it by chance????

[pamelapurr]

I'd like to try making it- it sounds great, but what is Double cream?
Pam

[lambykins]

I have every thing here for this one. I am going to make this tonight to take to work tomorrow. Can't wait to give it a try.

[ferggie]

hi sweetie the carb count for this is recipe is Per Serving (excluding unknown items): 475 Calories; 41g Fat (77.0% calories from fat); 24g Protein; 3g Carbohydrate; trace Dietary Fiber; hope this helps

[Birddog]

I'd like to try making it- it sounds great, but what is Double cream?
Pam

My recipe calls have heavy whipping cream. I would guess that, that is what double cream is. Please correct me if I am wrong. :wave:

[TVMichelle]

Hi, Ferggie - greetings from another Scotsman (Scotsperson?) - a McKenzie here! Looking forward to trying your recipe!

Michelle
P.S. I presume "minced beef" is what we would call "ground beef"...anybody else want to weigh in on this?

[ferggie]

[CENTER]hi my friend yes minced beef is what you call ground beef and heavy cream is yes double cream you will enjoy this recipe oh and in the uk
2 TBS. dried chopped onion (i left this out and added a whole onion instead)

1/2 cup mayonnaise = 8 tablespoons
1/4 cup Double cream=4 tablespoons
enjoy.Linda
***************

[AmandaLynn]

i would really like to make this tommorrow but i dont have any cream. any suggestions on substitues?

[TVMichelle]

You could use half and half, or milk, or plain yogurt, or sour cream. I think all of these would work just fine.

I made this tonight and my whole family (husband and teenage son) REALLY liked it! Easy, easy, easy! And good, good, good!
You could even turn this into a shepherd's pie by starting with a layer of veggies on the bottom, then the meat/egg/cheese, then topping it with mashed cooked cauliflower. Yum! I think I'll try that next week!

Michelle

[mike505]

I made this tonight, and it was great! You can't get "half and half" here, so I used cream, and it worked fine.

You could even turn this into a shepherd's pie by starting with a layer of veggies on the bottom, then the meat/egg/cheese, then topping it with mashed cooked cauliflower. Yum! I think I'll try that next week!

I'll have to try this!

[AmandaLynn]

also i suggest trying this with breakfast sausage.... yum!!!

i made something similar before this WOE with bread but i like the cheeseburger version 10 times better

[josiekat]

I made this on Sunday. It was fabulous! Along with a nice green salad, it was perfect. Even my non-LCing DH loved it!

I would give it :thup: :thup: and will definately make it again.

[Jiggerz]

I made it last night, a double batch, and we all loved it..yup, even my picky kids. We polished off one, and the other got divided up into plastic containers and put away so I'm covered for lunches this week. Thanks!

[Scented1]

This was my rendition I made yesterday

I just made this for lunch and was impressed. Light and flavorful......with a great Quiche feel to it. :thup:

[MrsCee]

Made this for dinner tonight, even my DH who is not a low carber loved it and had seconds. :yum:

[eyesofblue]

This taste great. I made it for dinner tonight, yummy. My husband enjoyed it too. The kids were all gone so I will have to make it another time and see if they will eat it.

[tessbook]

Yehaw! I found dinner for tonight! Sounds great - thanks for sharing :)

[BlitzedAng]

I like making this and saving in square tupperwares for brekki. :yum:

Angel

[Scented1]

mmmm I haven't had this in awhile...time to do it again!

[nicnoc]

Made this for the first time tonight. Big hit with the family, soooooo tasty. Thanks

[montanasun]

I can't wait to try this. Thanks.

[BlitzedAng]

I find new yummy things to add to this all the time.. Easy,tastes great and filling.

Angel

[unaxoxo]

hmmm. i dont have bacon, is there any substitute for bacon? or should i just omit that altogether? but sounds good... though you keep saying "per serving"... and per serve is about 3 carb grams apparently. but just how big is this serving? like a typical lasagna serving? or like a small pie? i'm still on induction.. but its great to see that for a whole batch only cost me 1/2 cup of cream and 8oz of cheese.. i could eat half a batch (though i wont!).

oh and another thing.. no other way to cook this other than putting it in the oven? mine is being fixed =(. i want to make this sooo badly tonight... but looks like i'm gna have to wait another 2 weeks.. unless i make these at my boyfriend's.... hmm..

[SereneOne]

I made this for dinner because I had all the ingredients on hand. Delicious!

[Scented1]

we use bacon bits or leave them out

[NismoGriff]

Made this last night and it was pretty good. I did add the black olives like somebody suggested. I was suprised that my wife enjoyed it and she actually took some to work with her today for her lunch. She text messaged me saying it was good warmed up too, lol. I was thinking about making a complete breakfast style one. Using sausage instead of ground beef, still using the bacon, and maybe adding in some ham bits too. Maybe some red and green pepper in the topping. Think it will bake up the same?

[Flutterby]

I made this the other too and it wasn't bad. Hubby liked it too. I was good to put in fridge in containers for lunch the next day!

[Scented1]

this recipe gets a lot of use around the forum. LOL I should make this. We haven't had in months. thanks for reminding me it is here.

[HalexGSD]

Just tried this tonight and it was great. Will certainly make it again and thank you for sharing!

[skeeweeaka]

Sounds good, would like to try this for dinner....

[Graphite]

Hoo boy... I'm hoping to make one in about an hour, once I get off work!

[*Sheila*]

wow! found an easy recipe for a busy day! Thanks! Especially with school fixing to start and being gone from home alot! Awesome. Will try this week too!

[2007]

This was just soooo good. :yum:

[Sonia567]

Yes, I agree. This recipe is awesome. I make it at least once every 2 weeks. Add a green salad and dinner's done! My whole family loves it.

[Graphite]

Don't forget, you can add many other things, such as spinach, diced tomatoes, anything you want to spruce it up, change it up. Sometimes we use pork sausage.... Andouille sausage was fantastic in it!

[feelskinny]

The OP was our supper tonight.
If my family 'loves' it....it's good!

I'm still smacking my lips.

[Shirss28]

I know the original recipe says this doesn't freeze well, but I didn't read this until AFTER I just made a double batch :eek: I thought I could freeze some of it for future lunch and dinners. Has anyone been successful freezing it for leftovers?? I haven't tried it yet, it looks delicious but I don't think I want to eat it for every meal this next week :D

[triplemom]

This is in the oven right now! I just happened to have all the ingredients on hand. I did something a little different with the cheese - I had a little bit of shredded cheese left in multiple bags, so I used them all - a little swiss, a little cheddar, a little mozarella. Will let you know how it turns out!

[triplemom]

Drum roll.......great recipe! Even with my mixed bag of cheeses! :) I may try it next time with some green onions and crab meat.

[JenLep]

I had to join this forum just so I could reply to this recipe! Thank you so much for posting. I started Atkins on Monday and as you all know, by day 3 was ready to give up due to the lack of variety of foods to make on induction. I found this site, and made this last night for dinner - YUM!! We had my FIL over for dinner and he loved it (I had ordered a pizza for the kids and for him just in case). I will definitely be making this again - very tasty!

[Kirsteen]

I tried this recipe tonight, served with roasted red peppers. It was really delicious, but I think it's probably one that would suit more active people who can burn off a lot of calories. My boyfriend loved it, but I'm not used to eating such calorie-dense foods, and I found it heavy on my digestion. Also, my boyfriend served 1/4 recipe per person, which looked like an average serving to me, so I ate it without realising. I keyed it into My Plan to see what the damage was, and using our normal brand of cheddar and mayo, the total recipe worked out at around 3600 calories - that's 600 calories per 1/6 portion, So my generous portion notched up about 900 calories, not counting my side veggies, etc. :cry: :cry: I have gained weight on a lot less protein and calories. I would like to try the recipe again, but I think I will try to make a bulkier version, by mixing another veg through the meat, reducing the amount of cheese and adding more egg, mixed with cottage cheese and water, rather than extra mayo or cream. Thanks so much for introducing me to such a tasty idea.

[pammieanne]

I jsut made this... got a :thup: from the DH who recently joined me on LC... and even my kids ate it!

I haven't had a problem with calories on LC yet, and I'm down #40 at this point and haven't had to worry about the calories that the last poster talked about.

This dish is tasty, filling and makes my family happyl

I did twist the recipe a bit... added mushrooms to the eggs, and put my bacon in the eggs instead of the ground beef... maybe not as much as the OP called for, but it was yummy!

This will be something I make again! And so LC to boot! woot woot!

[Skorchem]

its baking in the oven now, smells yummy :P

[Bejuled]

Made this tonight and everyone enjoyed it. (From 3yo to 39yo (-:) Served with a simple ceasar salad. Thanks so much for posting.

[moondaught]

This is an awesome recipe. I found it (or a near-identical version of it) on LindaSue's website a couple of months ago, and have made variations of it weekly since then.

Mexican style, Italian style - with or without bacon - different meats, different cheeses, different veggies, no veggies - it's just amazing how different it can taste and it's awesome every single time. All six of us love it, and I have to make a double batch to ensure leftovers.

[serenity77]

Bump! this is a great recipe! yummmmmmmy :-)

[2007]

Making this tonight with my own variation of course. Yeah, we all like to add our own little touch. :p

It's in the oven now. I know it will be delish. :yum:

[chermac]

WOW! I'm so glad this thread rose to the top, I'm going to try this one this weekend.

[shopjunkie]

I'm so glad I found this recipe again. I've been looking everywhere for it!

SOOO good! :yum:

[bandit]

Made this this morning and it is awesome. Followed the recipe as written with a little less cheese - about 5-6 oz. and it was still delicious.

[Rhinosaur]

I made this recipe last week and it was great. My wife and daughter but loved it too. I had to chase the wife away from the last portion so I'd have some for lunch the next day!

[bandit]

Made the bacon cheeseburger quiche recipe but substituted taco beef for the hamburger and bacon and boy was it good.

[kaarren]

I'm going to give this a try tonight....It is about the 3rd recipe I wanted to cook today, but this is the only one I have all the ingredients for!

[kaarren]

MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm GOOD!

[shopjunkie]

I haven't made this in awhile, and I think I'm going to make it for the Superbowl. :)

Such a yummy dish! :yum:

[WTBThinner]

I just made this last night and it is really good.

Thanks All

[Kimberleyb]

OMG this is delish!! I think I might have to only make it when I have people around to help me eat it, as portion control will def be an issue with this - it's too yummy! i just ate half in one sitting and could happily have the whole lot!

I only used half the amount of bacon and cheese as that's all I had but it was perfect! I'd never thought baking with mayo would work before even tho I've seen it in recipes on here. I'm a convert!

Thanks so much!

[hooleywood]

http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/bacon_cheeseburger_quiche.html

I made it last night, and it was really easy. I made it without onion because I was out of onions. Still delicious. My boyfriend who isn't low carb, loved it. Kept saying "mmmmm" when he ate it. I'm actually excited to eat left-overs today at work! This site has a lot recipes that look good with carbohydrate counts to boot.

[Kisal]

Linda Sue's recipes are great, aren't they? Many of them have become favorites of mine over the years. :)

[ferrygirl]

Yummy! Happy, happy tummy!

[cocochigg]

I have tried this recipe twice. The first I followed as directed. Tonite I used pork sausage, minced garlic and Mozerella Cheese. Kind of a Italian take. It is smelling sooo good. My hubby is dieting with me. He loves this recipe. Just add additional cheese to top after baking and ketchup, if you like. Great!!

[bohemian45]

Man, was this a hit this evening at dinner! I made it pretty much as listed on page 1, but I "guesstimated" some amounts like the cheese and mayo.

The flavor was just incredible...my wife, who wasn't very hungry, asked for seconds! I'll be making this again...

[catinhat]

Sounds like I need to try this soon! :)

[kaarren]

I like this recipe because everyone in the family likes it.

Thanks Glenda!

[catinhat]

I have a technical (I guess) question. If I have heavy cream instead of half and half, can I just use half cream and half water?

[Shi-Shi]

I made this for my familly of four last night (two who are not Atkins diet, well i guess i should say, they don't know they are). And everyone loved it. I used heavy cream instead of 1/2 and 1/2 to cut down the carb count.. Thanks for the info..

[bigoledude]

Made a pizza version and it was great!

[LadyBelle]

I made this for dinner last night. Not having any cream on hand, I subbed in sour cream with the eggs. The pie got into 8 pieces. Somehow, I managed to get 2 slices from the quiche. My non-LC family gobbled up the rest.

They told me next time I need to make a larger one, or do two at the same time.

[missymagoo]

sounds good

[bohemian45]

Glad to be dusting off this recipe for tonight--cold and very windy. I used a mix of ground beef and ground pork which is what was in the fridge. I can't get ground pork at my grocer with enough fat in it, so a little extra bacon grease is welcome.

Ready in thirty minutes!

[Iamgeorge!]

This is an amazing recipe! I have used it many times. It has great flavor and it is filling. Love it!

[brookey952]

Trader joes makes a salsa verde that is delicious. Its a green sauce with tomatillos and jalapenos. We tried this recipe tonight and thought it needed something. I added a spoon of this salsa verde to the top of my quiche while it was on my plate and it was great! fyi dont add it before cooking. add it after

[ImOnMyWay]

That sounds awesome! I love salsa verde. Thanks, Brookey.
