- Remove the potatoes and then fry the bacon until almost done, saving most of the grease in the pan.
- Remove the bacon and add in the onion and garlic, fry for 2 minutes and then add in the beef, pork, salt, and pepper. Fry until brown and then drain the excess liquid.
- In a large baking dish, or cast iron skillet, put the beef, pork, and onions in a flat layer and top with chives.

- Bake for 1 hour, or until the top gets nice and brown. Top with cheese.
- Serve to your hungry adventuring party!
