Bacon-Wrapped Cheeseburger Bombs

Burger Bombs
Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce

  • 1 tablespoon Ranch dressing (optional)

  • 4 oz cheddar cheese or Velveeta (cut into small cubes)

  • 8–10 strips of bacon

  • Optional: chopped jalapeños to mix into the burger

  • Optional: mix in some ground pork sausage for another kick of flavor

Burger Bomb
Instructions

1. Preheat

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with non-stick foil or parchment paper.

* I prefer to use a large muffin tin for mine; however, that does involve degreasing them on a lined sheet with paper towels afterward. It can get a little messy in the tin, however, if the bomb bursts, the cheese will stay with that meatball in its slot.

2. Season the Beef

In a bowl, mix together:

  • Ground beef

  • Seasoned salt, pepper

  • Garlic powder, onion powder

  • BBQ and Ranch

  • If you choose to chop jalapeños, mix them in now

Mix until just combined (don’t overwork it).

3. Form the Bombs

  • Divide the beef into 8 equal portions.

  • Flatten each portion into a small patty.

  • Place a cube of cheese (and any optional fillings) in the center.

  • Wrap the beef around the cheese and roll into a ball, sealing well.

4. Wrap with Bacon

  • Wrap each beef ball with 1 strip of bacon.

  • Secure with a toothpick if needed.

5. Bake

  • Place on the baking sheet seam-side down.

  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until bacon is crispy and beef is cooked through.

6. Optional Finish

For extra crispy bacon:

  • Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end (watch closely so it doesn’t burn).

Serving Ideas

Serve with:

  • Burger sauce or ranch

  • Lettuce and tomato on the side

  • Slider buns for mini sandwiches

Tips

  • Use thick-cut bacon for better wrapping.

  • Try different cheeses like pepper jack or mozzarella.

  • Add some spice with Chipotle Aoli or creamy Sriracha

Cream Cheese Salmon Spread

Recipe submitted by Kate Cooper : Here's my recipe with a few little side comments: So, you went to the grocery store while your stomach was grumbling. You  know what happens then. Whatever you're hungry for you overdo it. Those  beautiful slabs of fresh salmon are a case in point. When I walk by the salmon case I think I could eat them all. Here's what happens after  you've had your dinner and there is still a lovely hunk of salmon on the baking dish. Salmon Spread ! You can make a yummy spread to slather on whole wheat soda crackers,  Triscuits , or whatever cracker you love or, you can roll it up in a  beautiful crispy leaf of romaine lettuce (or again whatever lettuce you  love the best), or, as sometimes happens here, you can just get out a  fork and eat it up! Here's a pretty simple recipe: Ingredients: Leftover Salmon (goes without saying) - whatever is left, you can adjust the rest of the recipe ingredients accordingly. Just keep an ey...

Campfire Stew ~ From Scratch

**This post contains affiliate links** What is campfire stew ?  Well, it's just a stew that I started cooking over a campfire at the lake with my family. It grew so popular that it has been requested at most camping expeditions and events. Serve this stew alongside my  Viking Pie  for your cool-weather dinner party. Honestly, you don't have to cook this over a fire...you can make it wherever you wish. It  is   much  more convenient to make in the kitchen. This recipe is  SO  versatile and incredible, you'll have people swarming your campsite (or dining room) to slurp up every last spoonful. AND  it's fairly easy to make. I never wanted to give this recipe out. Ever. Never, ever, forever, never, ever. However...I get tired of it being requested so often that I'll just pass it along so folks can make it themselves. Not only is it delicious, but it is also surprisingly healthy. It is a  low-carb  stew and definit...
