Super Bowl Bacon Cheese Turtleburger

The newcomer to the zoo that is bacon-centric food experiments - please give a round of applause for the Bacon Cheese Turtleburger. Created the day the Saints made their first appearance at the big dance, these little guys are sure to be a fan favorite. Who doesn't love a lot of meat on Super Bowl Sunday?

Handmade ground beef patties are topped with sharp cheddar cheese and then wrapped in a bacon weave before the Hebrew Nationals are inserted as the heads, legs and tails. Place them on a rack, cover loosely with foil and then put them into an oven heated to 400 degrees. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the bacon is done - cooked through and a little crispy, but not too crunchy.


And voila! Perfectly cooked Bacon Cheese Turtleburgers.

Alex said...

Awesome. I wanna put them ontop of a bed of dressed salad, with a toasted bun on the side, spread with a little dijon. I love turtles.

Alex said...

And some grainy Vermont cheddar....

Awesome. Classic American: hamburgers and hot dogs.

I love the bacon weave. Great presentation for any age.

Jim said...

I love it! All that's missing is a cozy nest of fries.

Zontar said...

I'm gonna cook one of these!

kat said...

at first, "ewww!" then my twisted sense of curiosity got the better of me...now i'm off to the store to get the fixins! :~)

And quite healthy if you're on the paleo diet like I am! I'm going to make mine with asadero cheese, uncured bacon, ground bison and bison sausage. Yum! Thanks for sharing! :-D

This makes me proud to be an American!

those are amazing!! what fun.

katrina said...

Those look tasty. I recommend making little tinfoil mittens for the turtle's hands next time (shiney side out). They may help the hot dogs from browning too much.

Droooool.

Жира много, а так прикольно выглядит. Для деревенских пьянок самое то - хороший закусь.

I'm sorry, the title has a small misspelling. It should read "H-E-A-V-E-N"

Brad said...

Pure freakin' GENIUS!

Gretchen said...

We are making these (minus tails) for my brother-in-law's b-day. If they are half as delicious as they were fun to make, we are golden! Thanks!!!

I suggest having the turtle soup as a starter, and for dessert: the turtle cheesecake.

Someone posted this on Chowhound today and I must tell you, I LOVE IT! "Heroes in a half-shell, TURTLE POWER!" as the TMNTs used to say! Where's mine?

Amazing! I wish I could BUY it somewhere! But... definitely not for someone who's on diet!

culinspiration said...

Sprinkle a little brown sugar on that bacon, and I am IN!

Lightly candied bacon is so addictive. Love the turtles...they're adorable!

Kell said...

YEAY!!!!
My Daughter and I saw these on "this is why your fat" and we made them for Sunday dinner. So much frickin fun! Thanks for the inspiration.
