Bacon Cheeseburger Skewers

Yield: 8 servings
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 slices Food Club Bacon, cut into 4 pieces
• 1 lb ground beef (80% lean 20% fat)
• Food Club Salt and Black Pepper, to taste
• 4 slices Fresh Harvest Bread, each cut into 4 pieces
• 16 small squares Food Club Sliced Cheddar Cheese
• 2 cups loosely packed green leaf lettuce, torn into small pieces
• 16 cherry or grape tomatoes

For the (Optional) Dipping Sauce:

• 1/3 cup Food Club Real Mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons Food Club Ketchup

Directions

1. Cook bacon in a skillet over medium high heat until crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
2. While bacon is cooking, prepare the ground beef. Portion into 16 equal pieces and shape into a small patty about 1 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Once bacon is done, cook beef patties in the skillet until browned and cooked all the way through, and an instant read thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F, about 3-5 minutes per side.
4. While burger patties are cooking, toast bread cubes under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted. Watch carefully so they don’t burn.
5. To assemble the skewers, pierce a cherry tomato with a toothpick or mini skewer, followed by a small piece of lettuce. Stack a toast, burger patty, bacon and cheese together and then stick the prepared skewer through it.
6. Repeat with remaining skewers and serve immediately.
7. To serve with the dipping sauce, whisk mayonnaise and ketchup together until smooth.
8. Store any leftovers in the fridge.
