Ingredients for Big Mouth® Bites

Method

Directions for Big Mouth® Bites

  1. 1

    Prepare the onions

    Slice the onion into thin rings. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onions. Sauté until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the bacon

    In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, chop into smaller pieces.

  3. 3

    Form the patties

    In a mixing bowl, season the ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the beef into 4 equal portions and form into mini burger patties.

  4. 4

    Cook the patties

    In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the mini burger patties over medium-high heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side. During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of American cheese on top of each patty to melt.

  5. 5

    Assemble the burgers

    On each mini burger bun, place a cheese-topped patty, a few pieces of crispy bacon, and a generous spoonful of sautéed onions. Drizzle with ranch dressing before placing the top bun on.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the Big Mouth® Bites warm with additional ranch dressing on the side if desired.
