For some time now people have been substituting traditional bread burger buns with all sorts of over the top culinary creations, from scrambled eggs to fried noodles, and now an enormous meat-covered cheese curd. Created by the ever inventive Nick Chipman from the food blog DudeFoods, the Bacon-Wrapped Cheese Curd Bun Cheeseburger is a very cheesy and very meaty take on your classic bacon cheeseburger.
Made with fresh Wisconsin cheese curds, this recipe involves wrapping half a pound of cheese curds in five strips of criss-crossed bacon and deep frying the bundle -- twice. The cheeseburger between the buns is pretty standard, but this could also present a new and gluttonous area of opportunity for kitchen adventurers.
