Oven-Baked Bacon-Wrapped Meat Bowls

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.

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.

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.

Plate the bacon-wrapped meat bowls hot, served alongside the fresh salad drizzled with dressing.
