Ingredients

• 2 green bell peppers, diced
• ½ cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 ½ cups ketchup
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• cooking spray
• 4 fresh tomatoes, diced
• ¼ cup ground black pepper
• ¼ cup seasoned salt
• 24 slices bacon
• 2 jumbo eggs
• ⅛ cup garlic salt
• 5 pounds ground chuck

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat two 12-cup muffin tins with cooking spray.

Step 2

Mix together tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and eggs in a bowl. Mix together seasoned salt, black pepper, and garlic salt in a second bowl.

Step 3

Place ground chuck in an extra large bowl and add tomato mixture and salt mixture. Using gloves, mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Form meat mixture into 24 evenly-sized balls. Wrap each ball with a slice of bacon and place in the prepared muffin tins.

Step 4

Place muffin tins on a rimmed baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until bacon is crispy and meat is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
