Line the pan with slices of bacon. Add the ground meat on top and press it down flat. Sprinkle the BBQ seasoning on top.
Cut the pepper, onion, and jalapeño into rings and place them on top of the ground meat.
Sprinkle grated cheese onto everything and fold over the bacon slices. Brush BBQ sauce onto the entire Bacon Cake and place the pan on a grill heated to 350°F for 45 minutes.
Garnish the tasty Bacon Cake with fried onions for the finishing touch. What a wonderful dish for those long summer evenings!
