Redneck Turtle Burgers image

This is NOT my original recipe, and these are NOT my photos. I have no claim on this, other than to say that I received it in an email from my father-in-law, and thought it was cute as all get-out, and wanted to share. I don't even know to whom the credit for the recipe should be given ... whoever you are, it's adorable! And...

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb lean ground beef
12 all-beef wieners, each divided in-half (total of 24 halves)
4 slice sharp cheddar cheese
1 lb bacon
aluminum foil
4 hamburger buns
condiments for burgers

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
  • 2. Make four good-sized hamburger patties, nice and round and thick. Top w/ single slice of sharp cheddar cheese (this is optional, if you don't want cheese).
  • 3. Wrap each beef pattie in bacon strips, making a basket weave as you go. Cover entire pattie.
  • 4. Next, take the hot dog halves and make turtles' legs, head and tail. Cut the one for the tail at a diagonal on the end, so the tail looks "pointed". In the legs, put a few tiny 'slits' in the ends, so they will look like feet w/ claws after they bake.
  • 5. Line a baking sheet (with sides on it!) with foil, and place a baking rack over the foil. Arrange your "turtles" on the baking rack.
  • 6. Cook for 30 - 40 mins., in your pre-heated oven. A little crispy, not too crunchy ... just the way a turtle ought to be, right?
