Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 1/3 cup barbecue sauce, divided
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease 8 cups of a standard muffin pan.
  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate. Once cool, crumble it into small pieces.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled bacon, cheddar, panko, egg, diced onion, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce. Mix gently just until combined.
  • Divide the mixture among the 8 prepared muffin cups. Press it in lightly, leaving the tops rounded rather than packing the meat tightly.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the pan and spoon the remaining barbecue sauce over the tops of the muffins.
  • Return the pan to the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes more, until the centers reach 160°F. Let the muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes before removing and serving.

For the best texture, mix the beef just until the ingredients come together and avoid pressing the portions firmly into the pan. If the muffins release liquid as they bake, carefully drain it before adding the final barbecue glaze so the tops stay sticky rather than watery.
