How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Monkey Bread
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For The Monkey Bread:
- 2 cans (16.3 oz each) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
For Garnish:
- ¼ cup green onions, sliced
For Seasoning:
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Greasing:
- Cooking spray or olive oil
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 15 minutes for preparation and around 30–35 minutes for baking. You’ll spend a few minutes browning the beef and mixing everything together, and then it just bakes until golden and delicious!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating, grease a bundt pan with cooking spray or a bit of olive oil to prevent your monkey bread from sticking.
2. Cook the Ground Beef:
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Once it’s fully cooked, drain off any excess fat. Then stir in the Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well and let it cool slightly while you get the rest ready.
3. Cut the Biscuit Dough:
Open the cans of refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into four pieces. This will help them blend nicely with the other ingredients.
4. Combine Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the cut biscuit pieces with the cooked beef mixture, crumbled bacon, and both types of cheese. Toss everything together so it’s evenly coated and mixed.
5. Fill the Bundt Pan:
Carefully place the mixture into your prepared bundt pan. Press down gently to pack everything in. This helps the monkey bread hold its shape when baked!
6. Bake to Perfection:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30–35 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the top is golden brown and the biscuits are fully cooked inside. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
7. Cool and Remove:
Once done, let the monkey bread cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully flip the bundt pan upside down onto a serving platter. Give it a gentle tap so the bread comes out easy.
8. Garnish and Serve:
Top your monkey bread with sliced green onions for a fresh touch. Serve it warm and enjoy pulling apart the delicious pieces. Perfect for sharing!
This delightful dish combines the classic flavors of a bacon cheeseburger with a fun, shareable twist. Enjoy!
Can I Use Turkey or Chicken Instead of Ground Beef?
Absolutely! Ground turkey or chicken make great substitutes for ground beef. Just make sure to cook it thoroughly, and you might want to season it a bit more as poultry can be milder in flavor. Follow the same cooking instructions, and you’re good to go!
How Can I Make This Recipe Vegetarian?
To make a vegetarian version, simply replace the ground beef and bacon with your favorite plant-based proteins, like lentils or crumbled tempeh, and use a vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. You can also add more vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor.
What’s the Best Way to Store Leftover Monkey Bread?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to get it warm and a bit crispy again. You can also microwave it, but it won’t be as crispy.
Can I Prepare This Dish in Advance?
Yes, you can prepare the mixture the night before and store it in the fridge. Just mix everything as usual, then cover the bowl tightly. When ready to bake, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then pour it into the bundt pan and bake as directed. It’s a great make-ahead option for gatherings!
