BACON CHEESEBURGER BOMBS



Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs image

From the Pillsbury Website. I made these using homemade meatballs and they were quite tasty. If I were to make them using ground beef, I would try making mini patties, so they are more flat than round. I baked the bombs and turned them over half way through the cooking time.

Time 30m

Yield 16 appetizers, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16 1/3 ounce) can pillsbury grands original biscuits or 1 (16 1/3 ounce) can buttermilk biscuits
1 lb lean ground beef, cooked or 16 meatballs
8 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into 16 cubes
16 slices bacon
long toothpicks or skewer
canola oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Cut each biscuit in half; press with hands into circle about 3 inches in diameter.
  • In center of each biscuit round, place 2 tablespoons cooked ground beef (or 1 meatball) and 1 cube of cheese. Wrap dough to completely enclose beef and cheese; pinch seams to seal.
  • For the Fried Version: Wrap each stuffed "bomb" with 1 bacon slice; gently secure loose bacon with toothpick by inserting it through bacon and halfway into "bomb." In 3-quart heavy saucepan or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F Fry stuffed "bombs" 4 to 5 minutes or until dough is golden brown on all sides. Place on paper towels to cool. Repeat with remaining "bombs". Serve warm with ketchup and mustard, if desired.
  • For the Baked Version: Heat oven to 400°F Place bacon on foil-lined cookie sheet with sides. Bake about 8 minutes to partially cook bacon. Wrap each stuffed "bomb" with 1 slice partially cooked bacon slice. Place bacon wrapped dough 2-inches apart on two foil-lined cookie sheets with dough seam side down. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with ketchup and mustard, if desired.

THE BEST BACON CHEESEBURGER



The Best Bacon Cheeseburger image

While we love a grilled burger, this one is our go-to for all seasons. Instead of making a typical patty, we smash the meat in a super-hot cast-iron pan to get crispy, ruffled edges. Once you smash your burgers this way, you'll never go back! We top them with all the fixings, including our perfectly balanced special sauce. It's what we consider an iconic burger.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons pickle relish
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
8 slices thick-cut bacon
4 sesame seed hamburger buns, split
2 pounds ground beef (80-percent lean)
Kosher salt
4 thin slices sharp white Cheddar
4 thin slices red onion
8 thin slices tomato
1/4 head iceberg lettuce, shredded

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, relish and vinegar in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Working in batches if necessary, add the bacon to a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook, flipping halfway through, until crisp and golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a nonstick baking sheet. Discard the bacon fat (or save for another use) and wipe the skillet clean but do not wash. Heat over medium-high heat until very hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the buns split-side up to the baking sheet with the bacon and bake until the buns are toasted, about 5 minutes.
  • Loosely form the beef into 4 balls. Add one ball of beef to the skillet and press firmly to flatten with a large flat metal spatula for 10 seconds, then gently remove the spatula. Sprinkle the patty generously with salt; repeat with the remaining beef balls, cooking in batches if necessary. Let cook, undisturbed, until well browned on the bottoms, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the patties, sprinkle with more salt and top each with a slice of Cheddar. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted around the edges and the bottoms are browned, about 2 more minutes.
  • Spread the mayonnaise mixture on the bun tops. Serve the patties on the bottom buns topped with the bacon, onion, tomato and lettuce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons no-sugar-added ketchup, such as Primal Kitchen
1 teaspoon drained jarred horseradish
1/2 teaspoon coconut aminos
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1/8 teaspoon paprika
2 slices uncured bacon
1 medium yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced (about 5 ounces)
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground beef
1 romaine heart, chopped (about 4 cups)
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 medium avocado, diced
1 small half-sour pickle, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1 ounce sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • For the dressing: Whisk the mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, coconut aminos, hot sauce and paprika together in a small bowl.
  • For the salad: Place the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, turning occasionally with tongs, until the bacon is golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add the onions to the same skillet with the bacon fat, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown, watching carefully and stirring more often toward the end of cooking time to prevent burning, 12 to 15 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the onions to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
  • Add the beef to the same skillet with the remaining fat, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, raise the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat, until it is cooked through and browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Divide the romaine, tomatoes, avocado and pickles among 4 bowls. Drizzle each with 1 to 2 tablespoons dressing. Top each with a fourth of the beef and caramelized onions. Crumble the reserved bacon and divide among the bowls. Sprinkle each with cheese and serve.

Tips for Making Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs:

  • Use a good quality ground beef. An 80/20 blend is a good choice, as it will give the bombs a nice juicy flavor.
  • Season the ground beef well. Use a combination of salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
  • Don't overmix the ground beef. Overmixing will make the bombs tough.
  • Form the ground beef mixture into 1-inch balls. You can use a cookie scoop to make this easier.
  • Wrap each ground beef ball with a slice of bacon.
  • Place the bacon-wrapped ground beef balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Bake the bacon-wrapped ground beef balls in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the beef is cooked through.
  • Remove the bacon-wrapped ground beef balls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
  • Serve the bacon-wrapped ground beef balls with your favorite dipping sauce.
