Bacon Cheeseburger Buns Recipe
  • Prep: 1 hour + rising Bake: 10 min.
  • Yield: 24 Servings
60 10 70

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
  • 2/3 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
  • 2/3 cup warm milk (110° to 115°)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup shortening
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 4-1/2 to 5 cups all-purpose flour
  • FILLING:
  • 1 pound sliced bacon, diced
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound process cheese (Velveeta), cubed
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Ketchup or barbecue sauce, optional

Directions

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, sugar, shortening, eggs, salt and 3-1/2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels. In a Dutch oven, cook the beef, onion, salt and pepper over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add bacon and cheese; cook and stir until cheese is melted. Remove from the heat.
  • Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; divide into fourths. Roll each portion into an 12-in. x 8-in. rectangle; cut each into six squares. Place 1/4 cup meat mixture in the center of each square. Bring corners together in the center and pinch to seal.
  • Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 9-11 minutes or until lightly browned. Brush with butter. Serve warm with ketchup if desired. Yield: 2 dozen.

My mother, and I tried this recipe last night for dinner. We did make a few changes to the recipe by using wanton wrappers instead of making the dough. I do have to say that it was very delicious, and also very rich. With the amount of velveta cheese, and bacon called for in this recipe yielded about 12 buns since we used large wanton wrappers. I would recomend using a lighter velveta cheese or cut back on amount of cheese called for. Also with the bacon I would recommend cutting back on the amount called for as well. As all I was able to taste at the first bite was bacon, and cheese. The taste of both over powered the taste of the beef. The wanton wrappers worked out nicely as we baked them instead of deep frying them. The only issue was that they didn't really bring anything to the table as far as taste. They only added to creamy texture of the bacon, burger, and cheese mixture.

Over all this was a very excellent dish, and will be happy to make it again. Next time make a few minor modifications to the recipe.

These are reminiscent of the super popular cheeseburger turnovers that were judiciously served at the school cafeteria. I believe it was the school's most requested recipe. My loft is too cold for dough to rise (and my oven is in the wall!) so I use frozen bread dough for these types of things and it works beautifully. As to the salt, I think the level of salt here is correct but if your bacon is extra salty, you might want to adjust.

I used the dough setting on my bread maker, and cut the recipe in half. The dough made a really nice "roll" ... very soft and more attractive after you brush on the butter at the end. I used a good sharp cheddar, but about half the quantity. When you can't make burgers on the grill, go for these delicious bundles.

i made these for a superbowl party & they were DELICOUS! they dissapeared & got soo many compliments & am always asked to make these for every get together now. I used Rhodes rolls instead of making my own :)

I made this after a friend recommended it. I like and will be making it again. You have to press the corners together tightly in the middle or they tend to pop apart. Aslo I used much less salt. Between the bacon and the cheese, I felt it was almost salty enough.

These are great. I used the recipe to make panzzarotti and my nephews loved them. I served with tomato sauce for dipping. Big hit.

These were great. I also used the crescent rolls, but I needed more than 2 rolls. Husband and friends loved them!

Amazing! New family favorite! Used 2 tubes crescent rolls instead. Fused 2 triangles together then cut rectangle in half. Saved a ton of time.

Love this recipe. It is very time consuming but well worth it. My little girls are so picky (as is my husband) and they all loved these. I did make them bigger, more like a bierock.

Very good and easy to make. The dough was very simple and I just used the rise time to do other things. For a weekday would use crescent dough or frozen rolls as other reviewers wrote.
