Carnivore Beef & Bacon Breakfast Scramble
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb (225g) ground beef (preferably 80/20 or fattier for flavor)
- 6 strips of bacon (diced)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp butter, ghee, or beef tallow (for cooking)
- 1/4 tsp salt (to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional, omit for strict carnivore)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional, omit for strict carnivore)
- 1/4 tsp onion powder (optional, omit for strict carnivore)
- Shredded cheese (optional, for topping, omit for strict carnivore)
Instructions:
- Cook the Bacon:
- In a large skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the bacon from the skillet and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
- Cook the Ground Beef:
- In the same skillet with the bacon fat, add the ground beef.
- Cook over medium heat, breaking up the beef as it cooks, until fully browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
- Scramble the Eggs:
- While the beef is cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with a pinch of salt (and optional pepper and spices if using).
- Once the beef is cooked, move it to the side of the skillet and add the butter, ghee, or beef tallow to the empty space in the pan. Let it melt.
- Combine the Eggs and Beef:
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet, stirring constantly to scramble them. As the eggs begin to set, mix in the cooked beef and crispy bacon.
- Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully scrambled and cooked through.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, remove from heat and serve the scramble hot.
- Optionally, sprinkle with shredded cheese if desired for an extra creamy touch (omit for strict carnivore).
Pro Tips:
- Extra Fat: Add more beef tallow or bacon grease for additional flavor and richness.
- Add More Meat: Feel free to add other meats like sausage, steak, or ground pork for variety.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
