Notes
The Cheese Blend is a blend of 3 parts High Moisture Mozzarella Cheese with 1 part shredded Provolone Cheese. A bit of Shredded Cheddar Cheese is added.
Add Sautéed Mushrooms!
Just cook the Bacon and set aside but leave the grease in the pan to sear the mushrooms. Once seared, set aside to add back in with the ground beef and onion mixture. Along with the Bacon.
