Bacon Beefy Bake Recipes

OVEN-BAKED BEEF BACON

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
• Arrange the bacon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. It's okay if they touch each other, but they should not be stacked on top of each other.
• Place the pan in the oven and bake the strips until well browned, 15-20 minutes.
• Be careful when removing the pan from the oven - its bottom will have quite a bit of hot rendered fat.
• Using tongs, remove the strips to a plate lined with paper towels. Serve immediately.

BEEF AND PASTA BAKE - THE BEST!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 (350F).
• Heat oil in large pan; cook onion, garlic, bacon and carrot, stirring, til carrot is just tender - about 8 minutes *.
• Add mince and cook, stirring, til mince changes colour; then add undiluted soup, tomato paste, sauce and oregano and simmer, covered, about 15 mins or til mixture has thickened slightly.
• While beef mixture is simmering, cook pasta and drain. Stir pasta into beef mixture, then spoon into an oiled deep 8 cup capacity ovenproof dish and sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, for 15 mins or until browned slightly.
• *If you want to, you can add a stick of chopped celery along with the onion etc or add some mushrooms just before the mince.

BACON BEEFY BAKE

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. This recipe works best in a cast iron skillet.
• 2. Take bacon and lay in strips along bottom of skillet like pie slices, meeting in the middle with the extra hanging over the edge of the skillet. Use the whole pound, even if you have to overlap the bacon.
• 3. Place uncooked ground meat in the middle of the skillet and press flat along the bacon until you reach the edge.
• 4. Sprinkle seasoning and cheese over the ground meat.
• 5. Then lift the ends of the bacon and fold over into the middle. Coat the top evenly with the barbecue sauce.
• 6. Place cast iron skillet into the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until ground meat is cooked through. If you would like the bacon on top to be crispy, you can turn on your broiler for the last few minutes to crisp up the bacon on top.
• 7. Remove carefully from the oven and allow to sit for 5 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
