throw in the pressure cooker since he gets off work earlier than me. I couldn't decide on a recipe so I decided to whip up a new one!
2 lbs ground beef
1/2 cup sweet onion, chopped fine
1/2 cup dill pickled, chopped fine
1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 large eggs
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
1/2-1 tsp seasoned salt
1 recipe Super Pickle's Secret Sauce, divided use
10-12 sliced bacon, cooked crisp and diced
3/4 cup fine bread crumbs, plus or minus
In a bowl place beef ,onions, pickles, tomatoes, cheese, eggs and seasonings. Add in 3 TB of the secret sauce and about 1/2-3/4 cup chopped bacon.
Gently mix together until just combined.
Add the bread crumbs, this is to taste, some
prefer a wetter loaf and some drier, 3/4 is just right for me!
Mix until just combined. Don't overmix
Shape the loaf into your preferred cooking dish.... I did mine in a foil lined 9 inch springform pan because it fits nicely into my pressure cooker. You can do a regular loaf pan if you prefer to cook it in the oven.
Top with about 3 more TB of the secret sauce(reserve the rest for dipping). Sprinkle on more bacon pieces and more cheddar.
For the pressure cooker add 1 cup water or beef broth to the pot, place the trivet in the pot and put the springform pan on the trivet.
Seal the lid and set the pressure to high. Set timer for 25 minutes. When the time ends Natural release for 10 mins.
Release the rest of the pressure and carefully remove the pan from the pot.
Allow to set for 10 more minutes before removing from pan and slicing.
Conventional oven :
Bake at 375 for approx 1 hour, until internal temp of 165 is reached. Allow to rest 10-15 minutes before removing from pa before slicing.
