ingredients

6 strips bacon, cut into 1/2 inch pieces (optional)
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, diced
2 jalapenos, sliced or diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon steak seasoning (or salt and pepper to taste)
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
4 ounces cream cheese, warmed
4 buns (gluten-free for gluten-free)

directions

Cook the bacon in a skillet before setting aside on paper towels and draining off the bacon grease from the pan.
Add the beef and onions to the pan, cook over medium-high heat, breaking the beef up as it cooks, and drain any excess grease from the pan.
Add the jalapeno and garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
Add the ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, paprika, and steak seasoning and bring to a simmer.
Add the cheddar and cream cheese and let them melt into the sauce before mixing in the bacon.
Assemble the sandwiches and enjoy!

Note: You can control the heat in this recipe through the jalapenos! Add more if you want it hotter and use less if you want it milder.
Option: Add crumbled tortilla chips or corn chips, etc. for crunch!
