THE BEST BACON CHEESEBURGER

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.

BACON CHEESEBURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for high heat.
• Place bacon in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry, stirring occasionally. When the bacon is almost done, add the onion. Cook until the bacon is crisp, and the onion is tender. Remove onion and bacon from the pan with a slotted spoon, and transfer to a food processor. Pulse a couple of times to chop finely. Do not puree. Pour into a large bowl, and mix with steak sauce and ground chuck using your hands. Form into 16 patties.
• Place patties on the grill, and cook for 5 minutes per side, or until well done. Place a slice of cheese on top of each one during the last minute.

CHEESEBURGER CUPS

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Remove from the heat; set aside., Press each biscuit onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased muffin cup. Spoon beef mixture into cups; top with cheese cubes. Bake at 400° for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown. Freeze option: Freeze cooled pastries in a freezer container, separating layers with waxed paper. To use, thaw pastries in the refrigerator for 8 hours. Reheat on a baking sheet in a preheated 375° oven until heated through.

KETO BACON CHEESEBURGER BOWLS

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.

CHEESEBURGER BOMBS WITH BACON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat 16 cups of 2 muffin pans with cooking spray.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, bacon, onion, salt, and pepper and cook, stirring, until beef is browned, about 6 minutes. Drain fat, and stir in dill pickle relish, mustard, BBQ sauce, and garlic powder. Set filling aside to cool.
• Separate each biscuit dough portion in half to get 16 biscuits, stretching and pulling each into a circle about 1/4 inch thick. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the ground beef mixture into the center of each dough circle. Cut cheese into 16 cubes and insert each cube into the ground beef mixture. Wrap dough around the filling in the shape of a ball and pinch edges on the bottom together so biscuits are sealed around the filling.
• Set each biscuit seam side down in a muffin cup. Lightly spray the biscuit tops with cooking spray and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with ketchup for dipping on the side.
