Ingredients

4 servings

6 strips bacon, finely chopped
Chef's tip
Cook it like regular bacon. It's leaner and releases little fat, so add a splash of oil to the pan if needed.
1 ½ lb ground beef (80/20)
¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chef's tip
If the dish is baked or melted, cover it or keep the heat gentle - dairy-free shreds melt more slowly than dairy cheese.
4 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
1 large egg
⅓ cup plain breadcrumbs
2 tbsp whole milk
Chef's tip
Use an unsweetened variety so it won't add sweetness, especially in savory dishes.
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For serving

2 tbsp sliced scallions, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
2
Cook the chopped bacon in a large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the fat has rendered and the pieces are crisp, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and let cool for 5 minutes.
