It's been a while since I've seen a Burned Bacon Cheese Hotdogburger thread.Looked pretty awful, tasted pretty good. Why only post the hits when you could also post the misses? There are entire ongoing threads here devoted to ugly-looking kitchen fuckups. Here's ours. Post your not-so-appetizing meals.
It all started when I had to cook this pile of ground beef.
I made burgers and cooked up the rest in a pan.
Hours later...
Let's eat some trash.
The fattiest slabs I've seen in a while.
Tilting the pan to deep fry what solids are left of this bacon.
It was at this point when I was deep-frying the hot dog that I should have removed the bacon and turned down the heat.
So the edges are black and the slices are so light and dry that they don't even melt the "cheese". Almost all of the bacon is liquid in the pan.
Why involve a microwave now? Enough grease here to warm the burger this way.
Oh boy, that wiener is cooked. That taste takes me back to scouting trips with burned campfire hot dogs. All beef dogs are usually fattier than the chicken turkey pork dogs that are reasonably priced. So that grease in the pan is becoming more voluminous as things cook in it.
At this point I'm grossed out. The kitchen smells like burned bacon and hot dogs, American cheese is always unappetizing, and I just don't feel like eating it. But I've come too far to quit building the stupid thing.
I bet this is what that deep fried burger place stinks like. You know the one they used to showcase on the Food Network and Travel Channel around the turn of the century. There was also a deep-fried hotdog restaurant too (home of the Ripper). Of course they watched their heat and didn't use bacon grease.
This can save it. Top bun to the rescue. Mayonnaise, catsup, thin sliced red onion. I did forget pickles and kicked myself later.
That's it. Eventually I rediscovered the appetite that inspired cooking it and ate it before it got too cold. It was pretty good, but the hotdog was greasy and salty and overkill. The cheese had melted just right though. I'll pay closer attention next time, but I would eat again. Just with pickles on the burger and the hotdog on the side. With mustard.
