Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

- Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream. Stir in shredded cheese.
- Assemble casserole: Spread the beef mixture evenly in the baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the top and stir slightly to distribute.
