Now add your ingredients starting with a light sprinkling of mozza cheese first so when melted it will hold the ingredients together,
Add your crumbled hamburger and bacon bits, sprinkling them evenly over the top of each bun half.
Add the diced green peppers in the same manner as your meats.
To finish, add your mozzarella cheese over the meat and pepper ingredients.

Put the two half buns in the microwave for about 50-60 seconds to melt the cheese. Place a piece of wax paper loosely over the two half buns on the microwave plate.

Choose Your Wine:

Now add a glass of wine to compliment your meal. To choose a wine, you match the ingredients of your meal to the wine. So, for this Bacon Bun Melt, we have lotz of cured meat, red meat, and nice fatty cheese topping. We also have starch, that being the white bread bun. Since red meats, cured meats, and fats in a meal are commonly paired with red wines, that is what we will choose.

There are light red wines, medium red wines, and bold red wines. Because of our ingredients, either a medium red or bold red would be a good selection.

A Merlot or a Shiraz wine would be good matches. Both can pair with cured meats, red meats, starches, and fatty foods. And, unless your looking for a certain taste in the wine, you can choose from a variety of flavours.

For the Shiraz- the Mandela wine brand from South Africa, has Pepper, Spice, and Red Berry notes - $14 Canadian. The Merlot, made in Australia - Yellow Tail Brand, has Chocolate, Plum, Spice, for its notes - $13 Canadian.

Wines typically have 3 tasting notes. These are the flavours you can expect to taste in the wine. The 1st named flavour is usually the more prominent, the other flavours are less prominent when drinking the wine. These tasting notes are easily found on store counter labels for a particular wine brand.
