This is a fun way to serve bacon cheeseburgers without all the fuss of assembling the sandwiches to serve a gang. These convenient packets can be dipped into ketchup or barbecue sauce as you eat them. —Marjorie Miller, Haven, Kansas

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
XKick-up the flavor
With Johnsonville Italian Sausage.
Featured Sponsor
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.

I made these for a group but made them smaller than this recipe suggested. They were a hit. I did not have Velveta, so I used processed American cheese.

To save time, I used crescent rolls - 3 tubes (8 rolls in ea tube). I didn't have Velveeta on-hand but did have Cheez Whiz (15 oz jar). We LOVED these! The kids thought they were fun. Definitely making these again and again. I didn't dice the bacon before I fried it. I fried the slices, and after they cooled I crumbled them (but not too small) - again, saved some time. And I added some ground cumin for a little extra flavor to the ground beef, and didn't brush them w/butter.

I discovered these almost two years ago, in your magazine and was thrilled to see them as recipe of the day!! I have made them many times over the years, even replaced for hamburgers at our children's birthday parties. I make them a day or two in advance and heat in oven with a bowl of water and they stay moist. If we won't be able to eat the whole batch (which isn't often!) I place them, unbaked on cookie sheets and freeze - I pull them straight from the freezer and into the oven for a great weeknight meal. I've made many variations, but my favorite is to use deer burger meat and add some Worcestershire sauce.

This recipe is GREAT!! I used premade pizza dough. My whole family loved it. So so simple. I will make this again and again.

why couldn't you use crescent rolls to wrap. Just saying if you have trouble with making dough. It would also speed up the process

There are a lot of good ready made roll doughs out there that can save time for us busy cooks.I love these recipes but can they be made a little healthier and easier to prepare?
