🥓 

Bacon-Wrapped Potato & Meat Dome

Ingredients:

  • 15–20 slices of bacon
  • 3–4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 500 g (1 lb) ground beef (or mixed beef and pork)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (optional)
  • 100 g (1 cup) shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or mixed)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Bacon Bowl
    • Line a heatproof bowl (oven-safe) with bacon slices, overlapping slightly so they cover the entire inside of the bowl and hang over the edges.
  2. Add Potatoes
    • Layer thin slices of raw potato inside the bacon bowl.
  3. Prepare the Meat Mixture
    • In a separate bowl, mix the ground meat, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, and cheese.
  4. Assemble
    • Spoon the meat mixture over the potatoes and press down firmly.
    • Cover the top with another layer of potato slices.
    • Fold the hanging bacon slices over the top to seal.
  5. Bake
    • Place the bowl on a baking tray to catch drips.
    • Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 60–75 minutes, or until the bacon is golden and the meat is fully cooked inside.
  6. Finish & Serve
    • Carefully invert the bowl onto a serving plate lined with lettuce.
    • Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Optional Glaze (for shine)

Mix:

  • 2 tbsp barbecue sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
    Brush over the bacon dome during the last 10 minutes of baking.
