Bacon Cheeseburger Bombs

For the bombs:

1 pound ground beef

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

8 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into cubes

12 slices of bacon

Toothpicks (for securing bacon)

For the dipping sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons ketchup

2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish

1 teaspoon white vinegar

1 teaspoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon paprika

Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a bowl, mix ground beef, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Divide the beef into 12 equal portions and flatten each into a small patty.

Place a cube of cheddar cheese in the center of each patty, then fold the beef around the cheese to form a ball.

Wrap each beef ball with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

Grill or bake the bacon cheeseburger bombs for about 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the beef is cooked through.

For the sauce, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, relish, vinegar, sugar, salt, and paprika in a bowl until well combined.

Serve the bacon cheeseburger bombs hot with the homemade thousand island dressing for dipping.
