Bacon Cheeseburger Dippers

 

2 lb. Ground Beef

½ C. Bacon Cooked and Crumbled

6 oz. Cheddar Cheese Sliced

1 tsp. Black Pepper

½ tsp. Salt

2 T. Dill Pickle Juice optional

1 ½ tsp. Onion Powder

 

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F In a large bowl combine the beef, bacon pieces, pepper, salt, pickle juice, and onion powder. Using your hands, mix the meat with the other ingredients until well incorporated. Spread 1 tbsp of the meat mixture evenly into the cavities of a whoopie pie pan OR if you don’t have a whoopie pie pan, simply spread it into circles approximately 2 inches in diameter on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, or until meat is cooked through. Carefully remove from the pan and place them a large paper towel lined dish. Top ½ of the meat patties with a 1” square of cheddar cheese, then another patty. Allow them to cool slightly before serving with the dipping sauces of your choice.
