Oven-Baked Bacon-Wrapped Meat Bowls
Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed.
- Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions. Using a regular glass, mold each portion into a bowl shape.
- Wrap each meat bowl with 3 to 4 slices of bacon, tucking the ends underneath.
- In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon of ghee over medium heat. Add the sliced onion, diced bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, sliced garlic, and thyme, sauté for about 5-7 minutes.
- Spoon the sautéed vegetable mixture into each meat bowl and top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
Baking
- Place the meat bowls on a baking sheet and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Salad Preparation
- While the meat bowls are baking, toss together the chopped Napa cabbage, celery, diced apple, parsley, dill, and toasted walnuts.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, whole grain mustard, salt, and pepper to taste.
Serving
- Plate the bacon-wrapped meat bowls hot, served alongside the fresh salad drizzled with dressing.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the ground meat with Worcestershire sauce and spices a few hours in advance. Ensure the meat bowls are tightly wrapped in bacon.
