This recipe was originally submitted by Bonnie. She didn’t tell us where she was from, but if you’re looking for something terrific for a weekend lunch — or weekday leftovers — this sounds like a real treat.

Cheeseburger Quiche 

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 small onion chopped 
• 4 slices crisp cooked bacon crumbled
• 3 eggs 
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup half-n-half 
• 8 oz, shredded cheddar or swiss cheese
• garlic powder to taste 

Procedure

Brown ground beef in skillet with onion ( I also add a little green pepper). Drain and press in the bottom of a deep dish pie pan. Set aside. Combine remaining ingredients in bowl and whip well. Pour mixture over beef “crust” and bake 40 to 45 min at 350 degrees. Until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool 15 min before slicing. 

Makes 6 servings 2.2 grams of carbs each.

I found that using Kraft mexican shredded cheese and adding about 2 T sour cream makes this tastier. 

This is really good!!!! And reheats in the microwave very well.

( I have experienced with this a lot, I like it a tad bit spicier, I add some hot sauce to the hamburger mixture and garlic)
