Bacon-Wrapped Cheeseburger Bites

Jump to Recipe

These Bacon-Wrapped Cheeseburger Bites are cute, creative and crowd-pleasing! Perfect finger food for football season!

Bacon-Wrapped Cheeseburger Bites

Football season is finally here! Woo-hoo!

Come fall, our weekends are for football. We plan everything around the big games and the grub that goes along with them. So much fun and yum to come over the next several months!

As you plan for all the tailgates and watch parties, you’ve got to add these bacon-wrapped cheeseburger bites to the menu. They’re easy to make and fun for everyone to eat.

Bacon-Wrapped Cheeseburger Bites

I hesitate to use the word cute to describe them (because football food), but come on, they’re soooo cute! The most perfect little appetizers for a hungry crowd.

Slightly crisp baked bacon is wrapped around a bite-sized cheeseburger and a little lettuce, tomato and pickle before being secured with a toothpick for easy transportation to the mouth.

A bite-size bunless bacon cheeseburger that you can dip in ketchup and/or mustard. Who wouldn’t love these?!

So score big with your fellow football fans and bring these to the next tailgate or watch party and be sure to grab yourself a few before they quickly disappear. Whether your team wins or loses, you’ll win the best grub game! ;))

Enjoy & Happy Football Season! May the best teams (aka The Sooners & The Cowboys) win! ;))

Description

These bacon-wrapped cheeseburger bites are cute, creative and crowd-pleasing! Perfect finger food for football season!


Ingredients

  • 32 thin slices center cut bacon
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 pound thinly sliced cheddar or American cheese
  • lettuce
  • 13–15 larger cherry tomatoes, sliced into thin rounds
  • 32 dill pickle slices
  • 32 toothpicks
  • ketchup & mustard, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a rack snuggly into it. Spray the rack with non-stick cooking spray. Place the bacon out on the rack. Bake for 20-30 minutes until cooked all the way through and started to crisp on the outside.
  2. Meanwhile, divide beef into 1 tablespoon-sized balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You should have about 32 balls. Flatten each ball slightly with your thumb. Generously salt and pepper both sides of each beef patty.
  3. Using a donut hole cutter, slice the cheese into circles or cut into squares that will fit over the beef patties. You should have 32 small rounds or squares or cheese.
  4. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place as many beef patties onto the skillet as will fit. Cook 1-2 minutes or until bottoms of the beef patties start to brown. Flip each patty over and place a slice of cheese on the cooked side of the patty. Place a lid or baking sheet over the pan without it touching the cheese and let cook about 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  5. To assemble, lay out a piece of bacon. Place a piece of lettuce in the middle followed by a cheeseburger, a pickle slice and a cherry tomato bite. Wrap the bacon up over the cheeseburger and toppings and secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  6. Serve with ketchup and mustard.

    As a proud Eagles fan, I’m just gonna have to say no comment to that last bit…

    But these are super adorable! In my book, these minis would definitely beat sliders at a party any day.

Ingredients:

4 ready-to-bake pie crusts
3 (20 oz) cans cherry pie filling
1 (20 oz) can blueberry pie filling
1 egg
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp sparkling sugar

Instructions:

1. Let the pie crusts set out at room temperature for 10 min before using.
2. Spray a 12” x 17” rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
3. Using 3 of the pie crusts, fill the baking sheet completely with the dough. Cut the dough as necessary to cover the sheet pan.
4. Trim the dough even with the edge of the sheet pan and flute the edges.
5. Cut the excess dough into 12 stars using a mini star shaped cookie cutter.
6. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the remaining pie crust into Β½-inch wide strips.
7. Use one of the long strips to create a small rectangle barrier in the top left corner of the sheet pan.
8. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tbsp water. Brush the egg wash over the top of the stars and stripes of dough.
9. Fill the large area completely with cherry pie filling.
10. Fill the small rectangle with blueberry pie filling.
11. Create 5 stripes on top of the cherry pie filling with the long strips of dough.
12. Arrange the stars on top of the blueberry pie filling.
13. Brush the edges of the pie crust with the remaining egg wash.
14. Sprinkle the stars and stripes with sparkling sugar.
15. Place the prepared pie in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill before baking.
16. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450Β°F.
17. Bake the pie for about 25 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown and the pie filling is bubbling. If the edges of the pie start to brown before the stars and stripes, cover the edges with foil and continue baking until the crusts on top of the pie are golden brown.
18. Let the pie set for about 10 minutes before slicing into and serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired. Enjoy!
