Scrambled Egg Ground Beef Casserole
Do you guys know about Joe’s Special? It’s a famous dish that started in San Francisco in the 1920s that consisted of eggs, ground beef, spinach and garlic. A few places make their own version, including a Brooklyn based restaurant that my husband fell in love with. I wanted to try our own personal spin on it, removing the spinach and replacing it with green beans and peppers (2 things we love growing in the garden). The result is a delicious Scrambled Egg and Ground Beef Casserole! Looking to use up eggs in the refrigerator? This casserole needs 6 eggs. I picked up these eggs from the farmers market last weekend, aren’t they pretty? Looking for more casseroles?

Serve as Breakfast Casserole or Dinner
This casserole is so versatile that you can easily serve it as as a ground beef breakfast recipe casserole, or make it for dinner! If serving for breakfast, you can even make it for dinner the night before and simply heat up in the morning. To heat it up, remove from the refrigerator while the oven is preheating and cook at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes or until the center is heated. Alternatively you can heat up in the microwave if you need it faster.

How to make Ground Beef Egg Casserole
Brown the ground beef, green beans, green pepper and garlic in a skillet until the meat is browned. Then add your eggs into the pan and cook until scrambled and no longer runny. Pour mixture into a casserole dish and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Into the oven it goes for around 20 minutes. When it’s done baking, set your oven to broil for a few minutes or until the cheese is slightly browned (keep a eye on it!). Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes and enjoy this delicious Scrambled Egg and Ground Beef Casserole!
