Ingredients
Yield: 6 servings
- 1 lb bacon
- 1/2 cup panko
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend, shredded
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1/4 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup red or green bell peppers, diced
- 1 jalapeño, diced
- 1 Tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Flip muffin tin upside down and spray with cooking spray. Cut 1 bacon slice in half and crisscross over bottom of tin cup. Wrap 1 full bacon slice around tin cup to create bacon cup. Repeat to create 5 more bacon cups. Place muffin tin on baking sheet and refrigerate.
- Spray another muffin tin (right side up) with cooking spray and set aside.
- Mix remaining ingredients in medium bowl (except potatoes). For a softer flavor, try sauteing the jalapeno for a couple of minutes before adding to the mix. Form 6 balls and place in prepared muffin tin.
- Bake bacon and meatballs for 25 minutes. For a crispier shell, gently remove bacon cups from muffin tin. Turn tin over and place formed shells into right-side-up tin and broil bacon on high for an additional 3-5 minutes.
- Place meatballs into bacon cups and serve with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetables. Enjoy!
Notes
Adding cheddar cheese on top with a sprinkling of chopped parsley is a nice touch for parties.
