Ah! You’re talking about a Turkey, Bacon, and Beef Delight 🥓🍗🥩—sounds like a hearty, protein-packed casserole or sandwich-style dish. Here’s a detailed way to make it into a savory, layered delight:
🍖 Turkey, Bacon, and Beef Delight
Serves 4–6
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 6–8 slices of bacon
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup tomato sauce or marinara (optional for a casserole version)
- Optional: sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or jalapeños
Instructions
1. Cook the Bacon
- Fry bacon until crispy.
- Remove and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
- Reserve a little bacon fat for cooking the meat for extra flavor.
2. Cook the Meats
- In a large skillet, sauté onions and garlic until translucent.
- Add ground beef and ground turkey. Cook over medium heat until browned and cooked through.
- Season with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Assemble the Dish (Casserole Version)
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a greased baking dish, layer half of the meat mixture.
- Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese.
- Crumble half the cooked bacon over the top.
- Repeat layers with remaining meat, cheese, and bacon.
- Pour tomato sauce over the top if using.
4. Bake
- Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Serve
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve with a side salad, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
🔥 Tips
- Extra flavor: Use smoked turkey or add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture.
- Crispy top: Sprinkle extra cheese and bacon on top for a golden finish.
- Low-carb version: Serve over roasted vegetables instead of with a sauce or casserole base.
Variations
- Sandwich Style: Layer the cooked meats and bacon on a toasted bun with cheese and condiments.
- Spicy Version: Add jalapeños, chili powder, or hot sauce to the meat mixture.
- Veggie Boost: Include mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers in the meat mixture for added nutrition.
