Oven Baked 3-Ingredient Beef Bagel Bites Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil.
Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into fine crumbles, until it reaches 160°F. Drain any excess grease.
Arrange the bagel halves cut side up on the baking sheet in a single layer. For a crispier base, toast the plain halves for 3–4 minutes before adding the toppings.
Divide the cooked beef evenly among the 24 halves, keeping the crumbles away from the edges. Top each half with one piece of provolone.
Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the bagel edges are lightly toasted. Serve hot.
Practical Woman's Secret
Lay the provolone across the center of each bagel half so it bridges the hole. As it melts, it helps hold the beef crumbles in place.
Serving and Storage
Serve warm on a platter. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container. Reheat in the oven until hot throughout to bring back some of the crunch.
