Tomorrow is A-Day here in Alabama. For you non-college football fans, A-Day is the spring football game for Auburn and Alabama. It seems like just yesterday we were watching all the National Champtionship game! I know everyone is itching to get back to the stadium and tailgate with friends and family. We certainly are! Here is a great recipe for your tailgate this weekend - Bacon Cheeseburger Puffs. All the flavors of a bacon cheeseburger in bite-size form. The best part is they taste delicious! These puffs can be made in advance and frozen until you need them. They are not only a great tailgating snack, they are wonderful for lunch, dinner.
Bacon Cheeseburger Puffs
(Printable Recipe)
1/2 pound ground beef
1 1/2 cups biscuit/baking mix
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
3 oz bacon pieces
6-7 Tbps buttermilk
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a skillet, cook and crumble ground beef until no longer pink; drain. In a bowl, combine biscuit mix, bacon and cheese; stir in cooked beef. Add buttermilk and toss with a fork until just moistened. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. (I used a medium cookie scoop) Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
Baked puffs may be frozen; reheat at 400 degrees F for 7-9 minutes or until heated through (they do not need to thawed first).

Always the best tailgate food here, Steph!
Do you cook the bacon before mixing?
Sounds yummy! I'm so happy I found your blog on Ziplist.
Tabitha - yes - the bacon should be cooked. I use a bag of Oscar Meyer bacon bits.
Just made these for tailgating at a spring college football game. I of course had to taste test one before I take them...they aren't good.....they are SUPER GOOD!!!
I did double the batch and towards the end had to add just a little bit more buttermilk because the mixture wasn't holding together.
I think I'm going to add an onion to the ground beef when I brown it, since my whole family is addicted to onion. I'll let you know how it comes out.
Could I use skim milk in place of buttermilk? I hate buying dairy products just to use a little bit.
eepy - to make buttermilk at home - 1 cup milk plus 1 Tbsp white vinegar or lemon juice.
Okay, thanks! I'm gonna try these tonight.
these are great i doubled the recipe and made about 40 depending on what size balls u make them into .....yum the were delicious and my 3 yr old loved them :)
Anyone tried them using either ground chicken or ground turkey instead of Beef???
About how many servings does this recipe make?
Looks yummy.
Thank,
Lucinda
Hey, I just came across your AMAZING blog!
I'm a UK resident and really want to make these.
However, I've no idea what you mean by "bacon bits" and "biscuit/baking mix".
Please help! :D xx
For bacon bits - fry up 4 or 5 slices of bacon and chop it up.
For the baking mix - The name brand here is Bisquick. You can make it from scratch - mix together
2 cups flour
¼ cup shortening
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp baking powder
I'm sorry to sound ever so stupid but what is shortening? haha I've never heard of it.
The brand name here is crisco. It is a white solid vegetable shortening. Similar to lard
RTR!!! Can't wait to try this new recipe for game days. Have you ever substituted the beef with sausage?
Just made them and they are the best I have had, and so easy to make. They reheat easy too. So good .My family's new favorite.p
They make 28 bites

Just curious, do you have to use buttermilk or will regular/skim milk work as well? Thank you!
Ashleigh - you can use milk. I like to use buttermilk because I think it adds a nice flavor. You might not need as much milk as buttermilk. Add the milk slowly.
