Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 8 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and finely chopped
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 large egg

Instructions

1. Mix the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef, chopped crispy bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and egg. Gently mix everything together until evenly combined. Avoid overmixing to help keep the patties tender.

2. Form the Patties

Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty approximately ½ inch thick, pressing gently to help the ingredients hold together.

3. Cook Until Golden

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for approximately 4–5 minutes per side, until nicely browned and cooked through.

Make sure the ground beef reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). The cheddar will melt during cooking, creating deliciously crispy, cheesy edges.

4. Rest and Serve

Transfer the cooked patties to a serving plate and let them rest for about 2 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to settle while keeping the patties moist and flavorful.

Serve warm with your favorite sides or dipping sauces.

Serving Suggestions

These bacon cheddar patties are delicious with a variety of sides. Try serving them with:

• Dill pickles and your favorite mustard.
• Creamy coleslaw for a crunchy contrast.
• Roasted cauliflower or steamed vegetables.
• Fresh garden salad or sliced tomatoes.
• Sugar-free barbecue sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.

For parties and gatherings, arrange the patties on a large platter with toothpicks and a selection of dipping sauces.

Helpful Tip: Use freshly shredded sharp cheddar for the best flavor and melting texture. Make sure the bacon is completely cooled before mixing it into the beef to make shaping the patties easier.

With just four simple ingredients, these cheesy bacon patties deliver big flavor with minimal effort. They’re hearty, satisfying, and perfect whenever you’re craving an easy homemade meal!
