Ingredients
 

  • 1.5 pound ground beef preferably 80/20 for more flavor
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 medium tomato diced (optional, for garnish)
  • Fresh lettuce leaves for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1.5 teaspoon paprika optional for added flavor
  • 1 cup pickles diced
  • 1/2 cup tomato paste check for no added sugars
  • 2 cup beef broth
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 9 slices of bacon chopped
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • Mustard and sugar-free ketchup for serving

Instructions

Cook the Bacon:

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside on a paper towel to drain. Keep the bacon grease in the skillet.

Brown the Beef:

  • Add the ground beef to the skillet with the bacon grease. Cook over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika (if using).

Add Onion and Garlic:

  • Once the beef is nearly cooked through, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onions are translucent and soft.

Mix in the Tomato Paste and Broth:

  • Stir in the tomato paste until well combined with the beef. Then, pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Let the mixture cook for a few minutes to reduce slightly.

Incorporate Bacon and Pickles:

  • Return the cooked bacon to the skillet along with the diced pickles. Stir to combine.

Add Cheese:

  • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the beef mixture. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and let it sit on low heat until the cheese is melted.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Once the cheese is melted, garnish the skillet with diced tomatoes and fresh lettuce leaves. Serve with mustard and sugar-free ketchup on the side.
