How to Make Beef And Bacon Rissoles With Gravy

1. Cook bacon in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove and set aside; reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan.
2. In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, green onions, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, and half of the barbecue sauce.
3. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
4. Shape the mixture into eight equal-sized rissoles (about the size of a sausage patty).
5. Add reserved bacon fat and remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Heat over medium heat.
6. Cook rissoles for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
7. Remove rissoles from pan and set aside, keeping them warm.
8. Add mustard to the pan. Pour in beef stock and remaining barbecue sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
9. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
10. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
11. Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the gravy. Cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency (about 1-2 minutes).
12. Serve the delicious rissoles hot, smothered in gravy and accompanied by cabbage mash and cooked greens. Enjoy!
