4 servings
- 6 strips bacon, finely chopped
- 1 ½ lb ground beef (80/20)
- ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
- 1 large egg
Chef's tipFor each egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it sit until it thickens. It holds ingredients together but won't make things rise - best in pancakes, muffins, and cookies. - ⅓ cup plain breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp whole milk
- 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

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.
