Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 slices of crispy bacon
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Start by frying the bacon until crispy. Once cooked, crumble or chop into small pieces. In the same pan, sauté diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is fully browned and seasonings are well incorporated. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, sautéed onions, garlic, cream cheese, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix thoroughly until cream cheese is melted and ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Transfer the beef mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread evenly and top with the remaining shredded cheese and crumbled bacon. For added flavor and texture, sprinkle with sliced pickles and chopped green onions if desired.
