Bacon Cheeseburger Skillet

For a low carb alternative to that classic cheeseburger- this bacon cheeseburger skillet is family-friendly and uses only one pan! So juicy and delicious, you won't even miss the bun!

I LOVE a big, juicy hamburger! No McDonald's for this gal. Who wants a skinny little burger with more bread than beef?!? Honestly, it doesn't even sound that appetizing. Not when I know that better exists! And, better can come from your own kitchen!

Quintessential summer BBQ food, burgers are truly terrific and should be consumed year-round! Whether you're gluten free, low carb, or keto...burgers can be a simply delicious go-to. They are a friendly face on most restaurant menus.

And then there's In-N-Out Burger. If you know, you know. And if you don't, you really need to book a trip out west! Stat!

With only 7 ingredients and 30 minutes, this one-pan wonder can be ready and sitting on the table. No bun needed. Or you can totally add one (think sloppy joe.) 

And this dish is not macaroni and cheese with beef! No way! It feels like you're eating a bowl full of beefy cheeseburger! And if you add pasta, it's very similar to Hamburger Helper! Except you made it yourself, so the quality and nutrition of ingredients increases immensely!
