14 -
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
15 -
8 dill pickle slices
16 -
1/3 cup burger sauce, for serving
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin and press one cabbage leaf into each muffin cup, shaping the leaves into cups. Brush lightly with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
02 -
Brown the ground beef and diced onion in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking the beef into small crumbles. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is fully browned and flavorful.
03 -
Divide the cooked beef mixture evenly among the cabbage cups. Top each cup generously with shredded cheddar cheese.
04 -
Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until the cheddar is melted and bubbly and the cabbage edges are golden and crisp.
05 -
Remove the cabbage cups from the oven and top each one with crispy bacon pieces and a dill pickle slice. Drizzle with burger sauce before serving.
# Tips:
01 -
For the crispiest cabbage edges, avoid overfilling the cups and bake until the edges are deeply golden.
02 -
Add the bacon and pickles after baking to keep their texture and fresh flavor.
