Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup crumbled bacon
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, crumbled bacon, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, egg, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and shredded mozzarella. Mix the ingredients until they are fully combined, creating a cohesive and flavorful mixture.
2. Scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into small, flat patties or fritters. This will ensure an even cooking time and a delightful texture.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat, allowing it to reach the perfect temperature for frying.
4. Once the oil is hot, add the fritters in batches to the skillet. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
5. Remove the cooked fritters from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the Garlic Parm Bacon Cheeseburger Fritters hot, either on their own or with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy this flavor-packed delight!
Notes
For an extra burst of flavor, try adding a pinch of onion powder or dried herbs to the mixture.
Experiment with different cheese varieties, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack, to find your perfect flavor combination.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet during cooking to ensure even browning and prevent the fritters from sticking together.
If the fritters seem to be browning too quickly, adjust the heat to medium-low to prevent the exterior from burning before the interior is cooked through.
