Description

This unique cheesecake blends the creamy richness of classic cheesecake with savory, hearty meats. Perfect for carnivore, keto, or low-carb diets, it’s a decadent, conversation-starting dish that’s surprisingly easy to make. Crispy bacon, tender ground beef, and full-fat cream cheese create a luxurious texture and bold flavor. Serve it as a main dish, with sides like roasted vegetables or tangy pickles, and watch it disappear.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or sour cream
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 lb ground beef, cooked and drained
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: smoked paprika, chives for garnish


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a springform pan or line with parchment paper.
  • Cook bacon until crisp and crumble; brown ground beef and season lightly. Drain excess fat.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then fold in cream.
  • Fold in cooked bacon and ground beef gently, keeping the mixture light.
  • Pour filling into prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle additional bacon bits if desired.
  • Bake for 45–55 minutes, until edges are set and center slightly jiggles.
  • Cool completely, then refrigerate at least 2 hours before slicing.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture.
  • Let it chill overnight for maximum flavor and firmer slices.
  • Don’t overbake to maintain creamy consistency.
