BACON CHEESEBURGER PASTA



Bacon Cheeseburger Pasta image

I try to make foods that are not only kid friendly, but are also easy to reheat since my husband works long hours and often eats later than our children. If you like, use reduced-fat cheese and ground turkey for a lighter version. -Melissa Stevens, Elk River, Minnesota

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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.

SUNNY'S BACON CHEESEBURGER CASSEROLE



Sunny's Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

8 strips bacon, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds ground chuck (80 percent beef, 20 percent fat)
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons Mexican oregano
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk, at room temperature
1 pint (2 cups) heavy cream, at room temperature
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
Kosher salt
2 pounds frozen cheese ravioli, thawed
8 slices Swiss cheese
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
8 slices American cheese
8 ounces shredded Cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend
1 head iceberg lettuce, finely shredded (like straw)
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion (like paper thin!)
2 tablespoons pickle juice

Steps:

  • For the beef: In a large pan with straight sides on medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook, while stirring, until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Leave the bacon fat in the pan and add the olive oil, beef, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, salt and pepper. Brown the beef while breaking it up into bits, about 10 minutes. Remove the beef with a slotted spoon to a plate and reserve. Leave the fat in the pan for the sauce.
  • For the sauce: Add the butter and flour to the already-hot pan from the beef. If the butter begins to brown, lower the heat while working it into the flour. Cook, stirring, for a few minutes, then raise the heat and slowly whisk in the milk. Once it begins to thicken slightly, add the heavy cream and continue to cook until the sauce reduces a bit more and thickens as well. Add the mustard. The sauce will not be thick like gravy, but not as thin as water either. Taste and season with a pinch of salt.
  • For the casserole: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Using a 13-by-9-inch casserole dish, layer starting at the bottom with: a few spoonfuls of sauce to cover the bottom, half of the ravioli in 1 layer, the Swiss cheese, half of the beef, half of the tomatoes, half of the remaining sauce, the remaining ravioli in 1 layer, the American cheese, the remaining beef, the remaining tomatoes, the remaining sauce and the reserved bacon. Top with all of the shredded cheese blend. Bake until the edges are bubbly and the cheese begins to brown, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Toss the lettuce and onion in a large bowl with the pickle juice. Serve each portion of casserole with a mound of this garnish over the top.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Add the pasta to a pan of boiling water and cook normally (usually takes 10 to 15 minutes).
  • While the pasta boils, add the butter to a second saucepan on low heat and add the bacon to a seperate oiled frying pan. Also, begin to cook the sweetcorn in the microwave or in a fourth pan.
  • Once the butter has melted, add the flour and stir until it forms one. Then gradually add the milk, stirring continuously until it becomes a yellow sauce. Whisk the sauce to remove any lumps and turn the pan up to medium to high heat, stirring continuously until the sauce starts to bubble and turns white. Then leave the sauce to simmer and thicken, adding three to four handfuls of cheese.
  • Preheat the grill to a low heat. Once the sweetcorn and bacon are cooked, add them to the white sauce. Turn down down the sauce or switch off the gas if the sauce is bubbling violently, it should resemble a thick, creamy liquid. However, don't let the sauce go clumpy and overly thick.
  • Drain the pasta when its ready, place in a large lasagne dish and mix in sauce thoroughly. Crush up a packet of crisps and spread them across the top of the pasta. Cover the crisps in the remaining cheese and place under the grill until the cheese has melted and top has turned slightly crispy. Serve hot.
  • This dish can be reheated in the microwave if kept in the fridge to keep fresh.
