🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 12 pieces Mini bagels
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

2. Slice each mini bagel in half horizontally to create 24 halves and place them, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet.

3. In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.

4. Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir to combine, and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the flavors meld and the meat thickens slightly.

5. Spread about 1 tablespoon of salsa onto each mini bagel half.

6. Top each bagel half evenly with 1-2 tablespoons of the seasoned taco meat.

7. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the taco meat on each bagel half, dividing it equally among all pieces.

8. If desired, add sliced olives and chopped green onions for additional flavor and garnish.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

10. Allow the Taco Bagel Bites to cool slightly. If batch preparing for freezing, let them cool completely before transferring them to airtight freezer bags or containers.

11. To reheat frozen bagel bites, bake in a 375°F (190°C) oven for 12-15 minutes or until heated through.
