Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce, divided
  • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  • Add 1/4 cup of the BBQ sauce to the bowl and mix everything until evenly combined.
  • Shape the mixture into a loaf on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Brush the top with the remaining 1/4 cup BBQ sauce.
  • To freeze, wrap the uncooked loaf tightly in plastic wrap and then foil. Label and freeze for up to three months.
  • When ready to cook, thaw overnight in the fridge. Bake at 375°F for 45 to 55 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.

merknader

For best texture after freezing, avoid overmixing the meat so it stays tender once baked. If you prefer a stronger BBQ flavor, add a light second brush of sauce during the last 10 minutes of baking. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for three days and reheat gently in the oven to maintain moisture.
