Preheat your oven to 400°F. Take a frying pan and generously grease it with butter. This temperature ensures the perfect balance between cooking the ingredients thoroughly and achieving a golden-brown crust.

Finely chop three bacon strips and combine them in the pan with ground beef (75-25% ratio). Season with salt and pepper, then cook until the mixture develops a light brown color, ensuring the meat is properly caramelized but not overcooked.

Transfer your cooked meat mixture to a buttered baking dish, spreading it evenly to create a uniform base. This layer will serve as the foundation for your pie's structure and flavor profile.

In a separate bowl, whisk three large eggs until well combined. Pour this mixture over the meat base, followed by the heavy cream and half of your cheddar cheese. Gently fold these ingredients together until evenly distributed throughout the dish.

Top your creation with the remaining cheddar cheese and the final three pieces of chopped bacon, ensuring even distribution. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. Allow the pie to rest for 10 minutes before serving to achieve the perfect texture and ease of slicing.
