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 CHEESEBURGER DIP BOMBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large saute pan over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Drain on a towel-lined plate. Drain all grease from pan except 1 tablespoon.
• Return pan to medium heat and cook onions and garlic until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Stir in the worcestershire sauce, diced tomatoes, cream cheese, relish, scallions, crisp bacon, salt and pepper. Cook until cream cheese is melted, then remove from heat and let cool.
• Unroll the pizza dough and cut into 18 squares. Working with one at a time, place about 2 teaspoons shredded cheddar cheese into the center of the dough, then top with about a tablespoon of the beef mixture. Top with a teaspoon of cheddar cheese. Pull the corners of the dough up to meet in the middle and pinch to close. Place the dough, seam side down, about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
• Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 25 minutes until golden. Serve on a bed of shredded lettuce with relish, mustard and ketchup on the side.

SLOW COOKER BACON CHEESEBURGER DIP

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon to a plate lined with paper towels, reserving drippings in the skillet.
• Break ground beef into the skillet; cook and stir until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain beef, return skillet to stove, and reduce heat to low.
• Stir diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, cream cheese, and shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend into ground beef. Crumble bacon and stir most of it, reserving a few teaspoons for garnish, into beef mixture; cook and stir until cheese begins to melt, 2 to 3 minutes; transfer to a slow cooker.
• Cook in slow cooker on Low until hot and bubbly, 2 to 3 hours. Stir parsley into the dip. Garnish with reserved bacon. Keep in the slow cooker set to Low to 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.
