Bacon Blast Cheeseburger Fry Bombs (Print Version)

Beef, bacon, and cheddar unite in bite-sized fry bombs with crisp edges and melty centers.

# Ingredients:

→ Beef Mixture

01 - 1 pound ground beef
02 - 1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
03 - 1 large egg
04 - 1/4 cup finely diced onion
05 - 1/4 cup finely diced pickles
06 - 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
07 - 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
08 - Salt to taste
09 - Black pepper to taste

→ Fry Components

10 - Frozen French fries
11 - Vegetable oil for frying

# Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, thoroughly combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, onion, pickles, cheddar cheese, bacon, salt, and pepper until the mixture is uniform.
02 - Divide the beef mixture into even portions, roll into balls, and flatten each to form small patties.
03 - Pour vegetable oil into a deep fryer or large heavy pot, ensuring at least 2 inches depth, and heat to 350°F.
04 - Working in batches, submerge the beef patties in hot oil and fry until golden brown and cooked through, approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
05 - Add frozen French fries to the same oil and fry until crisp and golden, according to package directions. Drain well.
06 - Layer a cheeseburger patty over a French fry, top with an additional French fry, and serve immediately while hot.

# Notes:

01 - For best results, maintain consistent frying temperature to achieve a crisp exterior and ensure patties are cooked through. Serve immediately for optimal texture.
