Customize It Instructions

  • If using ground beef, break up until beef reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. 

  • If using Italian sausage, remove from casing, if necessary. Break up sausage until no pink remains and sausage reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. 

  1. 1

    Crisp the Bacon

    Line a microwave-safe plate with a paper towel.

    Spread half the bacon (reserve remaining for sauce) evenly on towel-lined plate.

    Microwave until crispy, 1-2 minutes.

    Cook the Pork

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.
