Instructions
Preparation
- Heat the griddle surface to 350. Coursely chop the bacon and fry it until almost finished.
- Coursely chop the onion and add it to the griddle with the bacon. When the bacon and onion are fried to your taste, remove them from the heat and set aside.
- Heat the griddle surface to 400 and add the beef, allowing it to sear before chopping it fine and allowing it to cook to a safe temp of 160.
- Mix the ground beef, bacon, and onion and add your chosen seasoning blend to taste. Set the filling aside.
Assembly
- On a floured surface, roll out a full sheet of puff pastry and cut it into quarters.
- To each quarter sheet, add a small mound of shredded cheese, then a spoonful of ground beef mixture. The total amount of filling should allow the filling to be fully enclosed in pastry in the next step.
- Fold the edges of the puff pastry up and over the filling, pinching it together until the pastry fully encloses the filling. Invert each bomb onto a wire rack.
- Brush the top of each bomb with butter and sprinkle with your choice of topping.
- Repeat the above assembly instructions with the second sheet of pastry.
Cooking
- Heat the two outside zones of the Halo Griddle to 500–600°, but leave the center area off. for indirect heating. Place the wire rack with the bacon burger bombs in the cooler center area and close the griddle hood.
- After about 10 minutes, rotate the wire rack and close the hood again.
- Remove the bacon burger bombs after around 20 minutes total or when they look well browned.
