Bacon Bowls Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Turn a six-hole muffin tin upside down and lightly coat the bottom with cooking spray. Overlap three or four short slices of bacon so that they cover the upturned cups, then sandwich another muffin tin on top so that the bacon is nicely compressed.
• Put the pans on a baking tray to catch the drips and bake for 20 mins or until the bacon cups are brown and crisp. Remove the tins from the oven and leave to cool completely before taking the top tin off. Carefully peel the bacon cups away from the tin and drain upside down on a piece of kitchen paper until you need them.
• You've just cooked a delicious bowl. Now fill the bowl with a spoonful of your favourite breakfast food - Boston baked beans, a grilled tomato, sautéed potatoes, refried beans or hash browns with a sprinkle of grated cheese on top. Serve with a shot of the perfect Bloody Mary.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Turn two muffin tins upside down, and cover the outside of 9 cups with aluminum foil. Set aside.
• Weave the bacon into a mat that is 9 strips across and 9 strips wide. Cut into 9 even squares. Place each square over one of the foil covered muffin cups.
• Bake the bacon in the preheated oven until crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon cups from the pan and allow to cool completely. Once cooled, fill each with some lettuce and tomato halves. Top with shredded Cheddar cheese. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• For the dressing: Whisk the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, coconut aminos, hot sauce and paprika together in a small bowl.
• For the salad: Place the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, turning occasionally with tongs, until the bacon is golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the onions to the same skillet with the bacon fat, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown, watching carefully and stirring more often toward the end of cooking time to prevent burning, 12 to 15 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the onions to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Add the beef to the same skillet with the remaining fat, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, raise the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat, until it is cooked through and browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Divide the romaine, tomatoes, avocado and pickles among 4 bowls. Drizzle each with 1 to 2 tablespoons dressing. Top each with a fourth of the beef and caramelized onions. Crumble the reserved bacon and divide among the bowls. Sprinkle each with cheese and serve.
