title: Bacon Cheeseburger Nuggets
servings: 4
ingredients:
  - 1/2 lb bacon, cut into small pieces
  - 1 1/2-2 lb ground beef
  - 1/2 lb Colby Jack cheese, shredded
  - ~4 cups panko bread crumbs
  - 2 cups flour
  - 6 eggs (2 eggs for beef and 4 eggs for dredge)
  - 5 tbsp burger seasoning (3 tbsp for beef, 2 tbsp for dredge)
  - Peanut oil for frying
  - "Garnish: burger sauce, chopped parsley, and parmesan"
instructions:
  - "**Cook the bacon** — Cook down the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. If you didn’t cut them small enough, chop on a cutting board and set aside."
  - "**Form the meatballs** — In a large bowl, combine beef, bacon, cheese, burger seasoning, and eggs. Form up to ~72 meatballs and place them onto baking sheets."
  - "**Prepare the dredge** — For the dredge, crack open eggs into a bowl and break up. In another larger bowl, combine panko, flour, and seasoning. Dip meat into the eggs, then the panko mixture, be sure to cover completely, and back onto the baking sheets."
  - "**Fry the nuggets** — Preheat frying oil to 350F and fry until golden brown and internal temp of beef is above 130F. Garnish with parm and parsley, then some burger sauce and enjoy!"
