My husband loves bacon burgers, so when I saw these in New York Times Best Selling Cookbook, Danielle Walker’s Against All Grain Celebrations I knew I had to make them! Her book is filled with a year of gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo recipes for every occasion I knew I had to make them! Perfect for the Superbowl for an easy appetizer, or even great during in the warmer months for backyard parties. I slightly adapted them using less bacon and cooked them on my grill pan since it’s too cold to use my grill but you can also make them outside on the grill.

The meat can be prepared up to 3 days in advance and stored wrapped in the refrigerator. Bring to room temp before grilling.
