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.
