Flavors of bacon, fresh tomato, and juicy burger all come together in one amazing summertime skewer.

Directions

Step 1

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium high heat until crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.

Step 2

While bacon is cooking, prepare the ground beef. Portion into 16 equal pieces and shape into a small patty about 1 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Once bacon is done, cook beef patties in the skillet until browned and cooked all the way through, and an instant read thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F, about 3-5 minutes per side.

Step 4

While burger patties are cooking, toast bread cubes under the broiler for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted. Watch carefully so they don’t burn.

Step 5

To assemble the skewers, pierce a cherry tomato with a toothpick or mini skewer, followed by a small piece of lettuce. Stack a toast, burger patty, bacon, and cheese together and then stick the prepared skewer through it.

Step 6

Repeat with remaining skewers and serve immediately.

Step 7

To serve with the dipping sauce, whisk mayonnaise and ketchup together until smooth. Store any leftovers in the fridge.

Cook's Notes

To make ahead, keep burger patties and bacon warm in a 200°F oven and cover toasts with plastic wrap so they don’t dry out. Assemble skewers right before serving. You can also spread a little of the dipping sauce on the toasts before assembling, if desired
