Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a frying pan with butter.

Cook chopped bacon with ground beef over medium heat until crispy and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Transfer the meat mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.

In a mixing bowl, whisk three large eggs, then add heavy cream and half of the cheddar cheese.

Pour the egg mixture over the meat base in the baking dish. Top with remaining cheddar cheese and reserved chopped bacon.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.

Let the pie rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Slice the pie and serve hot or at room temperature.
