Bacon Cheeseburger Dumplings – All About Dumplings

Mumma always said sharing is caring.

I have a confession, I’m having affair. I have two other lovers, how am I meant to resist juicy burgers and delicate dumplings bursting with flavours? Sometimes we just can’t help who we fall in love with.

Finding it hard to juggle two other lovers and not wanting to give up either there was only one logical solution that I came to. No, not a murder-suicide.

Everybody, I’d like you to meat (ahhh?) Bacon Cheeseburger Dumplings.

The filling is loaded with beef, oozing cheese and crispy salty bacon then cooked and topped off with classic cheeseburger toppings; tomato sauce, mustard, pickles, and onion. Everything you love about dumplings in cheeseburger form.

Oh my, I don’t have the words to describe how flavourful these bacon cheeseburger dumplings are. They surpassed any expectations I had.

These would be perfect for game day food, a dinner party where you want to show off or eating your body weight in them on a Friday night whilst watching crappy shows (my favourite thing to do).

You can either make your own wrappers using my recipe for dumpling dough or buy store bought ones, look for the round gow gee ones.

Other dumpling recipes you should try:

Recipe Notes

* Use beef mince that has a little fat, like 70% - 30% otherwise the dumplings will be dry. 

*Save and use the excess water off the onions to flavour things like stock.
