Cheese Ball Burger Buns

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

DudeFoods's Cheese Ball Recipe is for an Epic Triple Bacon Cheeseburger

— January 28, 2015 — Lifestyle
This cheese ball recipe turns the crunchy snack into a bun for a triple stacked burger. From Nick Chipman over at the DudeFoods blog, the Cheese Ball Bun Triple Bacon Cheeseburger puts a new spin on the bun-replacing burger concept.

To try the cheese ball recipe at home, fill the bottom of a bowl with cheese balls and cover them with shredded cheese. Microwave the whole thing and repeat to make two buns. Chipman used microwaveable Ball Park patties to complete the stacked sandwich. He used one each of the turkey, beef and beef and cheese flame grilled patties, turning the burger into a triple stack. He also added three slices of cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato and bacon.

Other bun replacement ideas include donuts and leftover pizza slices.
Trend Themes
1. Bun-replacing Burger - Creating innovative burger buns by replacing traditional buns with unconventional ingredients or snacks like cheese balls, donuts, or leftover pizza slices.
2. Stacked Sandwich - Experimenting with multiple layers of patties, cheese, and other ingredients to create towering and indulgent sandwich options.
3. Microwavable Recipes - Developing quick and easy microwave-friendly recipes that allow for convenient and efficient cooking processes within the fast-paced modern lifestyle.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - Opportunity for food manufacturers and restaurants to explore unique and creative bun alternatives to enhance the burger-eating experience.
2. Fast Food Chains - Disruptive innovation potential for fast-food chains to offer extravagant stacked sandwiches as limited-time promotional items or menu additions.
3. Kitchen Appliances - Incentive for kitchen appliance manufacturers to develop specialized microwaves or microwave accessories that cater to the growing demand for quick and convenient cooking methods.
