Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 8 slices bacon
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Bread and Base:
- 4 pieces flatbread
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Seasonings and Toppings:
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and optimal cooking surface.
- Crisp the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until golden and perfectly rendered, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- In the same skillet, brown the ground beef with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt, breaking it into small crumbles and cooking until no pink remains.
- Arrange flatbreads on the prepared baking sheet, brushing each piece lightly with olive oil to enhance crispness and flavor.
- Spread a generous layer of BBQ sauce across each flatbread, creating a tangy base for the toppings.
- Distribute the seasoned ground beef evenly over the sauced flatbreads, ensuring consistent coverage.
- Crumble the crispy bacon and sprinkle over the beef layer, adding a smoky, crunchy texture.
- Generously top each flatbread with shredded cheddar cheese, covering the meat and bacon completely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the edges of the flatbread turn golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped green onions for a bright, fresh finish.
- Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes, then slice and serve immediately while hot and melty.
Notes
- Customize the heat level by choosing mild or spicy BBQ sauce to match personal taste preferences.
- Swap ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based crumbles for a leaner or vegetarian alternative that maintains similar flavor profiles.
- Opt for whole wheat or gluten-free flatbreads to accommodate dietary restrictions without compromising the dish’s delicious essence.
- Layer optional fresh toppings like diced tomatoes or crisp lettuce after baking to add extra freshness and textural contrast to the melts.
