For bacon pie, there are several options.

You can use a cast-iron skillet and cook on the grill or you can use a skillet or baking pan and cook it in the oven.

Now this recipe is definitely for meat and bacon lovers everywhere. So if you don’t eat meat or bacon, look away.

Here’s what you’ll need:

19 slices of bacon
1 lb ground meat
2 tbsp BBQ seasoning
1 fresh jalapeño
½ onion
1 green pepper
6 oz shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp BBQ sauce
3 oz fried onions

It’s a pretty simple recipe and you can ask your kids to make it with you. Make it a family affair.

Here’s how to put it together:

Get the fire going on the grill and preheat to 350°F.
Line the pan with the bacon slices. Make sure the skillet is small enough that bacon can reach from the center of the pan and still hang off the sides of it.
Add ground beef to pan and press down to flatten it. Make sure there are no gaps. Sprinkle the bbq seasoning on the ground beef.
Get your jalapeño, onion, and green paper and slice them into rings. Add the green peppers, then the onions, and then the jalapeño.
Add grated cheddar on top, covering the entire pan with the cheese.
Fold the bacon slices over the cheese. If the bacon isn’t long enough to cover the top of the meat, add more bacon slices on top.
Pour the barbecue sauce on top and spread it all over the bacon.
Place the skillet on top of your grill, cover, and cook for 45 minutes.
When it’s cooked through, garnish with fried onions before serving (optional).

This BBQ bacon pie was a hit.

Lots of viewers loved the idea of bacon pie and offered their own take.

“We had this for supper this evening but cooked in the oven at 350°F for an hour we used 750 grams bacon and almost a kilo of ground pork we have a large frypan. It’s so good we are going to have this again. Thank you for this fantastic recipe,” Jonathan Pridie shared.

“Wow!!! That looks so great!!! I was thinking if you didn’t want to do green peppers you could substitute zucchini or summer squash.️ Thank you for sharing,” Tonia Dellapenta suggested.

“I’m cooking mine in a split ring deep pie pan. The excess grease will seep out through the seem making it less greasy. Hopefully it turns out and won’t give me a heart attack,” Steve Collins commented.
