Provided by Amanda Formaro

Categories     Appetizer

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs ground beef (80/20)
5 strips bacon
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
12 cherry tomatoes (halved)
4 slices American cheese
3 leaves lettuce (large pieces, we used Buttercrunch lettuce)
pickle spheres
jalepeno slices
mustard, mayo, ketchup, BBQ, chipotle sauce (for dipping)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • In a large bowl combine ground beef and seasonings. Use a 1-2 Tablespoon cookie scoop to make your meatballs. You should end up with about 24 meatballs. Line them in rows of 6 on a baking sheet. You can line the baking sheet with tinfoil to catch drippings for easy cleanup. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • While the meatballs are cooking, cut five strips of bacon into 5 equal pieces per bacon strip. Cook in a skillet over medium heat. Remove and set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Cut each piece of cheese into 6 rectangles.
  • Halve the 12 cherry tomatoes (or more if you end up with more meatballs).
  • Cut your lettuce into about 1 - 2 inch square pieces.
  • Put together your layers with a meatball on the bottom, followed by a piece of cheese, then bacon, lettuce, and topped with a halved cherry tomato.
  • Serve with ketchup, mustard, or any other burger style dipping sauce.

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
