Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8 slices of bacon
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, cheddar cheese, and green onions until well blended.
- On a flat surface, lay out the bacon slices. Take approximately 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture and shape it into a small log. Position the log at one end of a bacon slice and roll it up tightly.
- Continue this process until all the beef mixture and bacon slices are used.
- Arrange the bacon-wrapped beef bites on the baking sheet with the seam side facing down. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil for extra crunch.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is golden and crispy, and the beef is thoroughly cooked (internal temperature should reach 160°F).
- Allow the bites to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a spicy twist, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture.
- Ground turkey or chicken can be used as a lighter alternative, adjusting the cooking time as necessary.
