BACON CHEESEBURGERS

• 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.

BACON CHEESEBURGER DUMPLINGS WITH SPICY SOY KETCHUP

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place some water in a small bowl for wetting your fingers.
• Mix the beef, bacon, Cheddar, scallions, salt and pepper together in a medium bowl.
• Place 5 or 6 gyoza wrappers in front of you. Put about 1 tablespoon of beef filling in the center of each wrapper. Working with one wrapper at a time, dip your finger in the water and wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper over the filling. Dip your finger in water again and lightly run it across one side of the top circular edge. Use your thumb and forefinger to fold tiny pleats along the edges of the dumpling and press to seal. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all dumplings are formed. (Recruit some helpers if you can!)
• Pour some oil in a large nonstick skillet and place over medium heat. Add 6 to 8 dumplings and cook until the dumplings begin to brown, about 1 minute.
• Pour 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup water onto the skillet and cover with a lid. Lower the heat and let the dumplings steam for 3 to 4 minutes. The wrappers will become translucent when the dumplings are cooked through; you can cut into a dumpling to test for doneness. Continue until all the dumplings are cooked.
• Meanwhile, combine the ketchup, soy sauce and sriracha in a small bowl. Serve the dumplings with the spicy ketchup.
